Dreamin'

Don’t be deceived,

            the solstice has passed

            and the days are cooler, shorter;

            a few leaves have changed and

            more fading on the limbs, tinged;

            and the kids are back to school,

            Friday football, and marching bands;

But it’s not Autumn yet, nor fall,

            plenty of hot days ahead

            and lawns to mow; the lake is

            still calling and fish to be caught;

            and the birds haven’t closed up

            the camp yet and packed to leave.

No, don’t be deceived;

            plenty of summer still remains,

                        dreamin’ as we do ‘bout this time,

                        labor day right around the corner.
