Summer

     Summer has arrived, bringing

     Hot days and cold drinks,
     Walks at the park,
     Days at the lake.

     Hamburgers and Popsicles,
     Eating fresh peaches,
     Sunlight until late.

     Hiking and camping,
     Picnics with family,
     Reading books under a tree.

     Melted ice cream and sunburns,
     Too many mosquitos,
     Neighbors partying too loud.

     Pools too busy and so are all the parks,
     Too hot to go outside,
     Felt sick after the roller coaster.

     Air conditioner's noisy and costs lots to run,
     Kids getting too bored,
     Almost got heatstroke again.

     How much longer until Autumn?
