hot days, warm nights cool drinks, sweet sights summertime and the livin' is queasy what with heat stroke, exhaustion and days barely breezy bugs crawlin’ bees buzzin’ ‘skeeters sippin’ for a drop o’ dna an’ weeds burstin’ toward the sky without battin’ an eye nevertheless, it passes the test for fresh air passin’ past well-screened houses driftin’ over skunks with an interrupted path tater vines baking in the sun potato plant run-off speakin’ to the economy of this pastoral realm but what other time o’ year can you light up the charcoal ‘nd be assured of your beauty by the trail of its smoke ah, yes, summertime, picnics, cobbed corn, steaks on the barby, ice cream drizzled with berry surprise and clear blue skies ©July 2, 2002 Virginia Salter by the way...I also posted an Independence Day poem in "Holiday Cheer," that I don't think anyone's read, or else they hated it. Whether on the shoal or on the shore, |
