Pleeeez

Pleeeez… stop your whining and complaining Agreed, dog days of summer are straining Let's make the most of these hot sunny days Might as well call friends, be entertaining Come and sit in our air conditioned house Remember your swimsuit and grab your spouse We'll pretend we're on a resort island Cool off and have some fun at our clubhouse Let's appreciate the sun from inside Where from the scorching weather we can hide Sipping margaritas and coladas Let's have fun so come along for the ride Let's enjoy the cool waters of our pool Stop being negative, don't be a fool Later in the shade enjoy the evening Remember what's summer's number one rule Remember your whines when winter winds blow And you're out shoveling a foot of snow This stretch of heat'll be over soon enough Make yourself useful, open the Bordeaux We can't be wishing all our days away How quick will come the Christmas holiday Years fly by without any extra help We sure can't wish our life away Read on air by invitation ~ June 9, 2021 'WORDS & MUSIC' AP: Honorable Mention 2023 Submitted on September 16, 2018 for contest THE DOG DAYS ENDURE sponsored by GREGORY R BARDEN
