Today there was a breeze
Curtain stripes swaying to the motion
A rhythmic back and forth
At least that was the notion
In Britain all windows opened
Mum said it was fresh air
But now I am in Switzerland
And they have a different care
Fresh air becomes a draft
You could catch a very bad cold
Running nose and coughing
So I have been told
Close up all the windows
A breeze becomes a threat
Is what the Swiss have told me
I do not believe them yet
Temperatures are high
Sweat pouring from my brow
Mum said it is fresh air
The British show us how

I’m imagining that the breezes off of the mountain can get cool, but on a hot day that’s exactly why the mountains are a blessing. It works that way here with Lake Michigan also. I’m glad you don’t subscribe to the Swiss Way in this regard.

Thanks. If summer gets hot, there are not breezes in the lowlands. Just up on the slopes you get a cooling breeze, although the sun can be quite intensive.
