Here Comes The Summer

entry picture

I have had enough of cloudy skies

Just can’t take another rainy day

I am being blown down the street

By a wild wild wild wind in May

The seasons come and they go

Give me the sun on my back I pray

The weather girl is all aglow

There is nothing more to say

 

Here comes the summer

June is all aflame in a blazing sky

My garden is full of blooming roses

Everyone I meet is beaming smiles

Little children wrinkle their noses

 

Here comes the summer

July has set the heavens on fire

Let’s take a refreshing dip in the pool

Dance on the beach by the inviting sea

Eat a great big ice cream oh so cool

 

Here comes the summer

August is a crazy raging furnace

I am stuck in an eternal happy oasis

My mood is relaxing and laid back

No time for fancy airs and graces

Here comes the summer

Hi M.C.
Thanks for your comments.
I was attempting to lift peoples spirits along with the temperature.
Like you - I am a "Man For All Seasons"

I think the title took me back to those hazy
endless days when Jerry Keller sang a song with
almost the same title when I was a teenager.
Certainly, the sentiment stays strong, with the
sun always lifting the spirits. But there is
still something sneaking into my mind that tells
me when enough is enough - and I long for the
brisk breeze of autumn and those swirling leaves
about my feet. Not for me those perpetual blue "California skies".
