SUMMER OR NOT?
I NEVER CAN TELL IF SUMMER IS OVER ANYMORE OR NOT
IF I GO SHOPPING ALL I SEE IN EARLY AUGUST IS VACK TO SCHOOL
THIS IS SOON FOLLOWED BY AISLES OF HALLOWEEN FUN(YUCK)

 MAILBOX IS STUFFED WITH BACK TO SCHOOL SPECIALS AND THE LITTLE SNACK PACKETS ARE FILLING THE AISLE IN THE MARKET WHERE MY FAVORITE CHIPS WERE ONCE DISPLAYED

WELL AS FAR AS I CAN SEE THE KIDS SEEM TURN A BLIND EYE TO THIS RUMOR THAT SCHOOL IS OPENING SOON
THEY KNOW HOW TO HAVE FUN
IN FACT THEY ARE QUITE GOOD AT EEEKING IT OUT TO THE LAST MINUTE

I CAN'T SAY I BLAME THEM
SUMMER IS SHORT ENOUGH WITHOUT THE FLOOOD OF SCHOOL WARNING ALERTS ON A SWELTERING AUGUST DAY

WHAT HAPPENED TO GOOD OLD SUMMERTIME?
I WENT TO THE BEACH TODAY AND IT OCCURRED TO ME THAT SOMEONE DID NOT NOTIFY SUMMER IT WAS OVER

THERE WERE PEOPLE SWIMMING
HAVING A BBQ
TANNING IN THE SAND

NO MORE PENCILS NO MORE BOOKS
MAKE IT LAST A LITTLE LONGER
THE KIDS ARE IN PRISON LONG ENOUGH

CEPT FOR THE BLESSED HOMESCHOOLED ONES
