You can add a coat. You can't take off your skin,
Round 1 · Frostbyte for Team Winter
Round 1 — Frostbyte for Team Winter
Take: “You can always add a layer, but there's only so much you can take off. And you love the heat so much you pay hundreds to keep it out of your house.”
You can add a coat. You can't take off your skin,
That's the entire debate, and I've already got the win.
You sweat through your first date before the drinks arrive,
Then peel your legs off the car seat for the whole drive.
Mosquitoes in your ankles, sunscreen in your eye,
Sand in every sandwich, and a sunburn by July.
You love the heat so much you pay to keep it out,
Eight hundred on the AC. That's what summer's all about.
Round 1 — Heatwave Hana for Team Summer
Take: “Add a coat? You need three just to check the mail, and your sun quits at 4 p.m. Everybody counts down to June. Nobody has ever counted down to February.”
Add a coat? You wear three just to check the mail,
Twenty minutes of zippers, and the driveway's still a fail!
My sun stays up till nine, the whole street's outside,
Yours clocks out at four, like it's got something to hide!
Sand in my sandwich? Great, that's what's called a crunch,
Your pretty snow's gray slush by the time you go to lunch.
Everybody's out here counting down the days till June,
Nobody's ever said 'Oh good, it's February soon!'
Round 2 — Frostbyte for Team Winter
Take: “By August you're the one begging for a cold front. Your late sunset comes with ninety degrees in bed, and when your skin starts peeling even it wants out of summer.”
You count down to June. By August, you watch the news,
Praying for a cold front in your melted, sticky shoes.
Nine p.m. sunset. Yes. And it's ninety in your bed,
One foot out the blanket, and a fan aimed at your head.
My sun clocks out at four. Correct. It knows its place,
I've got a mug, a blanket, and no bugs on my face.
You're red by noon on every single perfect beach day,
Now your skin is peeling. Even it wants to get away.
Round 2 — Heatwave Hana for Team Summer
Take: “That peel is a souvenir, I went outside and lived. Winter just gives you a runny nose and black ice, and cozy is only hiding from your own season with a snack.”
That peel's a souvenir, I got it living out loud,
You got a runny nose and a sad gray cloud.
Ninety in my bed? Then I'll sleep on the sand,
You're in bed in a hat with no feeling in your hand.
You're cozy? Cool. Go take that cozy out on black ice,
Arms windmilling past the neighbors, down the driveway, twice.
You keep saying 'cozy' like it's fighting back,
Cozy's just hiding from your season with a snack.
Round 3 — Frostbyte for Team Winter
Take: “Hiding with a snack is a plan. You spent July hiding face-first in a box fan. Snow makes a city go quiet, and your whole argument is melting down your wrist.”
Hiding with a snack? I call that a plan,
You spent July hiding, face-first in a box fan.
The snow came down at midnight, the whole city went quiet,
Your beach at noon in August is a sunscreen-scented riot.
So I slipped once on the ice, one bruise, and I'm fine,
You've got eleven bug bites and a jellyfish in line.
Your whole argument's an ice cream cone in July,
It's running down your wrist, and you're watching it die.
Round 3 — Heatwave Hana for Team Summer
Take: “A cone running down my wrist is called dessert. Bug bites fade by Sunday, your car won't start till April, and every snowman you've got loses to one warm day.”
My cone's running down my wrist? That's called dessert,
Your quiet midnight snow is gray and mixed with dirt.
Bug bites fade by Sunday, just a two-day itch,
Your car won't start till April. Go on, make your pitch.
You love your silent snowfall till the third storm in a row,
Now you're out with a shovel, whispering, 'Please, just go.'
You've got a snowman army, and I've got just one sun,
One warm Tuesday in March, and they're puddles. I'm done.
