"the disfunctional Ramblings of an Unorganized Mind"


Dipping into the wide ocean of
Chlorine-filled water
Desperately seeking relief
From the scorching sun

Sun beating down
On the cook’s deep charcoal skin
Flips one burger, two burgers, THREE
Sweat dripping from intense heat

Hearty chuckles of old men
Little fits of giggles from small children
Smiles that warm and welcome
Hugs and embraces filled with love

Fresh barbequed ribs
Right off the grill
Everyone smells it
And digs into their meal

Chit-Chat and laughter
From all enjoying themselves
“Johnny stop running!”
A weary mother yells

Kids run and enjoy
Every stick is a toy
Glad school is at its end
Sweet summertime begins!
