Caring More About Business Than Economics

I don't care about economics as much

That's like accounting

I care about business, about makes sales

Sri Lankan Heat, Air Conditioning and Begging Pauline

It's f***ing hot in Sri Lanka.

I need my air conditioning

We used to have a Saint Bernard dog

Called Paddy

He had his own ac, in the garage

Just to survive

Like a dog in heat

Although, no man ever got a woman back

Begging on his knees

I'll beg and plead

Pauline

Please, please

I'm your friend

Heat, Dry Mouth and Needing Exact Air Conditioning

I have to drink water

My mouth is like dry

Or parched due to the heat

It's too hot in Sri Lanka

I might, like, only visit SL on holidays

During the less hot months

█████████████████████ I desperately depend on the air conditioning

I got good ac█████████████████

I can't live without it

I need, like, exactly

24 Celsius

Or 70% relative humidity

Or 60% maybe

I dunno about it

I feel faint at the heat

But I have no body weight, or water weight

So I don't sweat

And I also can't cope with too cold

I need it, just right like Goldilocks
