SUMMER SOLSTICE EVE
Oh how time does fly
And who would believe….
The longest day of the year
Is tomorrow–tonight its eve.
–
A blink or two in time
It was just past December…
Complaining about the cold,
Does anyone remember?
–
One blogger I read said that
It’s all down hill from now…
Forgetting that hotter months
July and August
Cry loud.
–
Of weather what can I say,
The warmup is welcome to me…
It’s close to the longest day
But I look to the summer with glee!

ON A NIGHT’S WALK
(“Animal Crackers in My Soup”)
Owl flies onto a telephone pole,
Looking for a succulent mouse or vole…
Sits right there while looking ’round
Listening for meals on the ground!
–
Froggies are silent in mid-June,
Maybe they’re waiting for a full moon….
Gotta grow up by August skies
To loudly belch out those bullfrog cries!
–
Chittering from feeding raccoons,
At least they seem the most likely tunes….
Looking for all the things they eat
Without getting trash their diet is complete.
–
Walking around at the midnight hour,
Doors to lock amid a springtime shower…
Some lights stay on all the night
Keeping things safe til the morning light!
