Summer

the summer heat stops your breath

you’re always wet and sticky

even when the sun is hiding

behind the gray clouds that won’t spit rain

it makes you tired and feeling icky

course in summer there’s so much to do

swimming, water skiing, trail riding, more

your skin gets red and peely

even if you remember your sunscreen

there’s plenty of ouchiness in store

what is there to like about summer?

certainly not the microscopic winged visitors

they make you itch and jump and slap

but you can run and play in beach sand

and play a game of fetch with your critters

summer days are long enough

you can sit around the campfire

roast marshmallows, sing a song

reminisce about the good old days

before time for the sun to retire
