Dog Days of Summer

DOG DAYS

The gnats of Summer days bring frustration
In your eyes, up your nose, so much aggravation
But they are to  always be expected
So why create such a sensation

Enjoy the wonderful Summer days ahead
Without expounding on Winter days to dread
Days when we will wish we had some gnats
Regardless of the remarks previously said

Dog days and gnats go hand in hand
Just like beaches, surfboards and sand
Summer is a time for great relaxation
Days of vacation that prove to be grand

My suggestion would be take time to unwind
Commune with Nature and I think you will find
That Summer is perhaps the best time of all
For sheer carefree living and great peace of mind

Gordon Mcconnell September 5, 2018 at 10:39 AM fine penned piece Curtis, yes summers nearly gone at least here in Scotland it's on its last legs! I really liked this one looking back gives us plenty of happy memories. Blessings, Gordon Curtis Moorman September 5, 2018 at 4:01 PM Thanks, Gordon! I've never been to Scotland but that's where my ancestors hailed from. The name Moorman is derived from the occupation of being in charge of the moor. The "moor" man supervised the deer hunting on the moor in his charge as well as the grazing and branding of cattle. Hence the name, Moorman. I hope one day I'll be able to make the trip. Thanks for your comment and support.

Tom Cunningham September 4, 2018 at 12:48 PM Gteat write Curtis, yes summer is a lovely season, but soon to end and we look forward to its return. Good luck. Tom Curtis Moorman September 4, 2018 at 1:11 PM Thanks, Tom! I wrote it according to Greg's contest rules. Actually, Spring and early Fall are my favorite times of year. But just as we 'old timers' used to say, different strokes for different folks. I think that saying still applies. lol Blessings on you, my friend.
