Ilene Bauer Poet Rhyme

Made In the Shade

In the shade you’ve got it made;
The sun’s intensity does fade.
Of sunburn, you won’t be afraid
And you can sit in pleasure.

On city sidewalks or a glade,
Beneath a tree I wouldn’t trade 
A shady spot; you’d not persuade
Me, not by any measure.

Some folks by a/c’s might be swayed 
But when the pros and cons are weighed,
I’d save the biggest accolade
For shade, which I do treasure.

L Milton Hankins June 29, 2022 at 2:17 PM I love the shade, no question about it, but when the temp reaches high nineties, give me the A/C. When it's that hot outside I simply cannot breathe...even in the shade.
