Summer.

Day by day the heat persists, Don't know how I can exist. Every day the blazing sun, Awful lot of damage done. Fall asleep no matter where, From the hot and humid air. Every day so hot and fine, For a cooling swim I pine. Dash right home and into shorts, Give no thought to outdoor sports. Grab a cooling drink and book, Softly settle in a shady nook. Thinking and the writing wait, Until another later date. Toss and turn throughout the night, Waking up feeling like a fright. Hot I am and hot I'll be, Until some cooling rain I see. Summer's here and here it stays, A summer sun and its golden rays.
