Poem
Summer Days The chirping of cicadas in the early morning light Bring back pleasant memories of summer time delight When you were just a school kid and had nothing all planned out You spent your days like mine I’d guess, here’s what mine were about You could sleep in late if you want to there’s no place you had to be Its summer time and school is out and you’ve got the summer free Head out to the ballpark for a pick-up game or two Or maybe you’d go swimming; it’s really up to you And when you’re getting hungry; head on home for lunch Peanut butter – jelly – lemonade or punch Leave something on the counter so Mom knows that you ate And leave a note up on the fridge if you think you’ll be home late You can leave the house each morning and stay out all day long At first it might seem funny but that feeling soon is gone If you get hot and thirsty and you did, heaven knows You didn’t run back in the house, you grabbed the garden hose You had to let it run awhile; that water would be hot But soon it would run cool and clear and really hit the spot You’d jump on your bicycle and ride for miles and miles The exercise would do you good and the ride would bring you smiles And as the day was ending; you’d hear the katydids You’d know it’s time to say good night to all the neighbor kids Then as the street lights flickered on; you’d hear your mother call Time for you to head on home; REPEAT until its fall!
