Is Summer Really Over

Is summer over or just cooling down,
days are getting shorter do not make a frown.
Sun time use varies widely,
in many different places.
 

Do not tell me barbeque time is over,
that will make me want to pee.
As BBQ corn does eat,
great with hotdogs and watermelon too.
 

Tell me it is not so,
no more ice cold sweet tea to drink slow.
Now to make only hot tea,
keeping lips moist not open.
 

Summer will be back next year,
must I really wait twelve months with no cheer?
Friends gather happily in just,
time for the holidays and not missing the summer.

I don't enjoy the summer that much anymore because I can't handle the heat anymore. Fall and spring are my kind of seasons except for the allergies. Thanks for sharing this one with us. If for a contest, it reads like a good contender to me. Way to go. Sara K
