Seize the Summer, Kids

Sing “School’s out. School’s out!” Time to wade in creeks.
Bring Kool-Aid and hotdogs outside for a picnic.
Swing high in the tire Dad tied to the big oak tree.
Fling Frisbees, bounce balls, play tag; be quick!

Time will fly right into fall, so cherish summer fun.
Sublime are the hours you play each day, but save some     
Prime time for reading and learning. They enhance summer as
Rhyme may spice up poems. Branch out, kids! Summer won’t be glum.
