A catchy little poem came to me after work Monday as I walked out of my building into the heat and humidity of a Missouri summer evening. I jumped in my car and felt the heat immediately surround me as I searched for my keys. Beginning to sweat, I turned to grab my seat belt not realizing it was scorching hot! HOT! HOT, HOT!
In this moment it came to me. I really like summer but sometimes it does not like me.
Summer is here. Ready or not.
“My Summer”
A drink with friends gives you a good chuckle
You burn the crap out of your hand on your seat buckle
Feels like I’m living in a sauna
I’m starting to sweat profusely and don’t wanna
My white skin is blinding to the naked eye
As the sun bounces off of me from the clear blue sky
I think I’m burning! I think I’m burning!
Oh, for more aloe vera I am yearning!
Summer may not be my season
But all four I find quite pleasin’
Okay, so maybe I won’t quit my day job…
Don’t get me wrong, summer is great! I just seem to struggle with it more than any other season – sweat, flat hair (oh, wait… that is every season!), bikinis (yuck!), white skin and freckles, must I go on!?!
To end on a high note, what I love most about summertime is the barbeques, baseball, the lake and gatherings friends and family! Good food, beer, and plenty of sunshine!
Summer fun!
HAPPY SUMMER!
