It's hotter here than a June Bride in a Feather Bed
Central Florida in June and temperatures are in the 90's and climbing! Let me tell you folks it's be'in hotter down here in this neck of the woods than a June Bride in a feather bed. Now'in if any of ya'll older gals, and yes I am including myself in that statement, can remember your Grandma's feather beds then ya'll be a knowing what I am a talkin about. Now I'm not a talk'in bout them there new fancy down feather beds and comforters that they have these days in the big fancy stores in the city, though they are mighty nice. No Maam, I am a talkin bout those old feather tick mattresses that were bout four feet thick and must have been made with at least a thousand of them there yard birds (that be Chickens for'in you city folks). Grandma would tuck ya'll into those feather beds in the winter, cover you with two or three of those hand sewn quilts and you would sink bout two feet down into that there mattress. Now that was some mighty fine sleeping, you would be all warm and toasty and that there mattress was soo soft you would sleep like a new born baby. Now imagine that same nice warm cozy feather mattress in the heat of a steamy June summer night down here in the South, why you would almost have yourself one of them there heat strokes just a sleepin by your self never mind havin your cotton pickin man layin there in that darn bed with you and we all know how newlyweds are. So comes the sayin down here in the South, "Hotter than a June Bride in a Feather Bed".
