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 4 September 2018 For the contest sponsored by Gregory Barden

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.

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.
