true story

I need to turn off the ac
just five minutes after I switched it on
because it was hellish hot
and a couple minutes in
I was loathe to admit
that the room got frigid
and stung like sin
but I felt brave
while the situation grew grave
because you see
apart from the ac
I'd switched on the fan
on full fanatic force
to alleviate the scorch
which was this room
burning a heated torch
and only the winds of Siberia
could sooth the burn I knew
but I was wrong
as the minutes grew long
I sat on a glacier
waiting for an end to near
what absurdity might be this
flitting from discomfort to bliss
to discomfort again
well, two can play this game
and I intend to win
while my patience grew thin
I sat chattering like a fool
discreetly turning off the fan
extending my foot from the stool
but that's not the end of story
while my voice grows hoary
I banged my fist on the remote control
the ac went quiet like an automatic troll
It's been just five minutes
and now I'm sweating
I need to turn on the ac
just five minutes after I switched it off
