Summertime Heat

The peak of the summertime brings the heat
All day in the sun leaves you feeling beat
Try hard to get cool
Time spent by the pool
So much time you are redder than a beet

Your skin feels like leathery dried out meat
You'd give anything for an icy cool treat
The sun is so cruel
You feel like a fool
To the sun I admit utter defeat

Ah, but with age, one cherishes the sun warming up old bones! Aloha! Rico
