Watermelon

I remember the summertimes,
Eating and munching on watermelon
It was refreshing sometimes,
Beating the heat and swimming on
A hot, breezy summer as a skinny boy
Now, I’m a biggo adult in Lake Havasu’s heat
I have become sick and tend to annoy
My dad while he tries to sleep, but I keep thinking of the watermelon I am bound to eat

Yes, watermelon is good on a hot day but I only can eat a small amount for a number of reasons unlike my husband who will eat a whole one by himself. Thanks for sharing this one with us and for dropping by my pages. Sara
