Sweet Summertime
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!
