August

August finds me on the sun deck Ugly sweat running down my neck Great time to jump into the pool Using the blue water is so cool Swimming I love to do from end to end Today everyone is my friend

In the idyllic moment when perspiration glistens upon one's brow, the opportune hour for indulging in a refreshing plunge emerges. While the balmy embrace of the summer's radiance holds an undeniable allure, my anticipation extends towards the arrival of a crisp autumn zephyr, accompanied by the resplendent transformation of foliage. Wishing you only the utmost felicity, dear Paula.
