Sounds of Summer

Sounds of summer...It's all around and in the air;
     In towns and cities it's everywhere!
Sounds of summer...cookouts with steaks sizzling on the grill;
     Music blaring, the chattering of people eating a hot meal.
Sounds of summer...Pool parties and backyard volleyball;
     Block parties with people laughing with a little alcohol!
Sounds of summer...Children playing in the creek;
     Running around playing Hide-and-seek.
Sounds of summer...Shrieks of laughter at the amusement park;
     The sounds of summer continue even after dark......
