I'm Cold! I'm Not!

From Candy's Poem for Three Voices Quickwrite.

The air conditioning is freezing me!
Thank you Mr. Carrier for inventing AC.
Mr. Carrier didn't mean to duplicate winter with AC.
Ah! I love the thrill of the chill.
Does the testosterone make your sweat spill?
Ya gotta love tamper-proof thermostats.
Don't you see us shivering in jackets and hats?
Sorry Sis. Can't feel your pain.
Just like smokers when asked to stop, spewing the profane
You'd sing another tune if it was 90 degrees in here.
What sense does it make for icicles to appear?
Aw! Eat more and layer on some fat.
We'll be here with our hands on the dials when you die from that!
