A Cooler Place

I looked for shade on that Summer's day My body is made for a cooler May By a river to wade I found the way Lie or be laid where coolness may stay High up the grade where zephyrs will play Nigh on the blade where green grass forms hay Shy of the trade where water turns grey Sly but not afraid I will cool where I lay 7-9-20 Contest:Triple Rhyme Sponsor: Beth Evans
