Suburban Saturday

It's Saturday in suburbia U.S.A. Lawn mowers buzzing, chores underway Planting and pruning, nourishing flowers that will bloom To announce and brighten the month of June Contented cats perch on fences high Loftily appraising the collared dogs led by To the dogpark, filled with Frisbees and tennis balls A meelee of fur, a Fido free-for-all! Teenagers holding signs - for a small fee, to support their JROTC They will clean your cars - from grimy to shiny! Kids on bikes and boards fly down the steep hill Heedless of danger - transported by thrill Farmer's markets - trendy veggies and jams, artisanal pleasure Yard sales - for pennies on the dollar, you could discover treasure At the local high school field, the softball game starts Everyone participates - everyone plays their part As evening folds in, grills are fired up Smokey meat smells waft by - time to sup! In suburbia U.S.A It's just another Saturday
