Sultry days of hammock swing
Under folding, azure canopy sky
Midday checkered picnic with waving willows
Melons ripened to utter perfection
Evening's calm is sea-breeze scented
Row, row , row your boat...  
Treasure shells buried in diamond beige
Ice cream parlours each corner beckons
Make mine pralines and cream !  
Entwined limbs of tan caress sunset sheets
