Doggone Dog Contest

"SUMMER TIME"

The dog days of summer come whetherwe want them or not.
Laying in a pool is better than being hot.
 
The dog days of summer are here from dusk til dawn.
We're all wishing for rain to water the lawn.

The dog days of summer are for swimming and fun.
Fishing or baseball even tanning in the sun.

The dog days of summer are hot enough to fry an egg.
Wishing the days were cooler so I wouldn't have to beg.

The dog days of summer are going to be over soon.
When school starts again you'll sleep until noon.

Aside from the heat, you're going to miss those dog days of summer when freezing temperatures are ushered in by winter, Teresa. Very nice, nostalgic poem. Better check Andrea's blog. She wants all contest entries to be titled "The Doggone Dog Contest." Wishing you success in the competition. Love, Carolyn
