August

Air is heavy with August's stifling heat,
Undulating water at the beach entreats.
Grab the kids, towels and sunscreen, let's hit the road,
Unleash your inner child, get ready for play mode.
Sandy shore and cool, refreshing waves are waiting.
Time to go now, no hesitating!

Summer heat here in Florida in August is almost unbearable, Jan. To be honest, I'm not a beach person either. Thank you for commenting!
