Analysis of Cool Downs
Cool downs after torrid heat oxygenate the air.
Like a health center retreat
this gives intensive care.
Cool downs after severe heat oxygenate the blood.
Like a purpose obsolete
this gives nips in the bud.
Cool downs after fiery heat oxygenate the skin.
Like an spoiler in defeat
this gives excuse new spin.
Cool downs after muggy heat oxygenate the lung.
Like a master of a fleet
this gives exploit far-flung.
Cool downs after pesty heat oxygenate the frame.
Like a new lover heartbeat
this gives twinkle a name.
