Summer collapsed, exhausted,
looking for a bit of shade,
and muttering to himself:
"I quit, don't need to get paid!
I thought I had the best season,
the one with games and fun,
nobody thought to mention
I'd be getting sun and more sun.
Having a sunny disposition
is harder than I thought,
when I'm always getting burnt
and I'm always always hot!"

The water is fine -
come in!
This is a perfect poem for this summer. It has been dreadfully hot and humid here.
ReplyDeleteLove the pool scene. I keep studying it to see how you created all the components. Brilliant!
Nothing's as cool as a pool!! Yours it totally darling! 💕
ReplyDeleteThe summer here certainly fits that poem! I love the way you did the water in the pool.
ReplyDeletePerfect for this summer. Love the little chair. I can see myself with a cool drink and a good book!
ReplyDeleteIt may be extra hot in summer but I still like it better than the cold of winter. What a cute little pool that is.
ReplyDeleteYou do need a pool to survive the summer and yours looks great!

Although many people enjoy the summer, sometimes we just need cooler days and some rain! A dip in the pool is a good idea!

Sounds like summer has been brutal in the Northern hemisphere. We have had hot days in the middle of winter. Totally weird weather for us :)
ReplyDeleteThe water will be even better if you put some onions and carrots in it too LOL Love me some pea soup!
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely scene :) For me it is too hot to be outside even in the shade. I am really looking forward to autumn.
