It’s a scorching
Summer day
The sun beats down
Much to my dismay
I feel languid
In this hot inferno
I turn on my AC
This heat needs to go
I sip on an ice-cold
Glass of iced tea
Next, I guzzle a huge bottle
Of ice-cold water you see
I lay outside
On a lawn chair
I must be careful
My skin is quite fair
The sun blazes
I sweat profusely
So Mommy takes us all
To the Brentwood pool quickly
At home, we’d run through
The lawn sprinklers
It was so much fun
From the hose we were drinkers
The ice cream man came
We had flavored ice
And a foot-long licorice
They tasted very nice
