Summer Pleasures

No trips and no vacation plans,
In depression days when I was young.
Summer was Mama's lemonade,
Spreading pleasure to my tongue.

Joyce. The rhyming lines were not same in syllable count, but the message of this far outweighed that detail. I loved this. Congrats in my contest.

A unique take on this summer topic, Joyce. As Barbara said, summers were simple then, but I would gladly live those years all over again! Congratulations on this lovely win! ~ Regards // paul
