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.
