SUMMERTIMES MAGIC.

    Summertimes magic makes a fine holiday,
    Where lands of enchantment, invite us to stay.
    The lure of the wild, or, in peaceful solace,
    These wonderful places we love to embrace.
    To dive coral reefs, with it's blues and the greens of aquamarine,
    Or tantalise tastebuds, with exquisite cusine.
    By dining al fresco, while taking a cruise,
    And drink cocktails at eight, mixed with green chartreuse.
    With the tang of sliced lemon or sweet tangerine,
    Those bountiful fruits will keep palates clean.
    A walk on the wild side, delightfully charms,
    With the heady perfume, passing lavender farms.
    Those waysides and byways, when we need to refresh
    At watermelon stalls quenching thirsts we stay fresh.
    From the pale lilac crocus, a fine yellow spice,
    For exotic dishes, saffron flavoured, served with rice.
    All beautiful memories, under cerulean skies,
    It's summertimes magic, which fill misty eyes.
