HOT JUNE DAYS

(tune: “Animal Crackers in My Soup”–to sing it!)

Sudden spreading algae blooms

Cover quiet pond lagoons,

Lily pads bursting out so far…

Cradling gentle lily stars!

–

Sweat drips down like salty rain

Making us shower all over again,

Grass grows quicker than we mow…

Professionally planted flowers show.

–

Rain clouds come to wet the ground,

Thunder and lightning slow us down

To enjoy a quiet book…

Or resting in a favorite nook!
