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
