POOL COOL
Cooling in my little pool.
So soothing, I can’t help but drool.
Mom understands, has just one rule:
when other kids are in the pool,
wait till I’m out to drop a stool.

RUM NUMB
He finds one way to beat the heat
is from consciousness retreat.
He drinks till he falls off his feet,
passes out, oblivion sweet
until a cold front comes to greet.

MAN FAN
When it’s too hot to walk or skip
it’s time to take a little trip.
With top down, steering wheel tight grip,
accelerate to a good clip.
Just try not to make a blip
on radar, or the spell will rip.

WAYS TO BEAT THE HEAT OF SUMMER
Lots ‘n lots
Of cold creamy ice cream
On a corn are right from the box
Sittin out on the lawn
In your lawn chair feet up
Just enjoyin the beautiful sun shine
On the lake cool water
Take a long smoothin dip if you pleases
Swimmin playin are just sittin isle y by enjoyin the breezes
Long island ice tea is grand
Are a cool refreshin fruit drink
Will surely do the trick wit lots crushed ice
Beautiful colorful straws
For dippin sippin are blowin
Colors of the rainbow to brighten your day
Lollypops to the tongue pallet
Watermelon favor is the bestest I tink
But dont stop there try them all quince you thirst
Flowers hummmm the smell
Sweeter the honey slicker on a vine
Colors to brighten the
Beaches of many
Hot air bloom ride
Go the distance wind in your hair
Flyin high in the ski of the blue younders
Beat the heat
Theres nuttin better than
Suckin up the sun in the good ole summer time

FAIR SUMMER
Picnics by the lake
Watchin the boats go speedin be
Jet skier doin crazy stunts
Wadin your feet in the cool waters
Eatin loads of watermelon till
Yo belly aches
Just sittin in the sun
Havin a good time
Its summer
Time for tons of fun
Like sum bathin
Till your good and done
Hair cooled to a bright yellow
And your not even blonde

One of my all-time favorites from the Sizzling Sixties – and yeah I have the 45 record LOL
SUMMER HEAT
Radio blashin on high
Just listen to Bon Jovi songs
Party hard rockin back
In the hot summers sun
Sun shine down on me
Parkin lot party
Are the best
When no one is around
Time is love
Look into
Your angel eyes
And see me
In summers days
Take a dip
And a sip to beat the heat
Just listenin to
Our favor songs
On the radio
In the heat of the hot summer time

A BIT OF SWEET RELIEF
School is out,
kids give a shout,
barbecues in the park,
catching fireflies after dark,
following rainbows,
humming sweet tunes,
no big plans to make,
what ever comes to mind,
one day at a time.
So many ways we had as kids
to spend those summer days
that never seemed to end
and we gladly filled them up
from morning to night.
And while these hot summer days
already find me looking forward
to the cooler days of Fall . . . .
I do miss the precious hours
spent in those places
reserved only for children
who dreamed the dreams
of summer days
that never ended;
those days when
the most important thing
we ever had to do
was to drag the old canoe
down to the river in the morning,
exploring every bend
and trying to catch
at least one fish
with that makeshift pole
of ours;
those days when
chasing the fireflies
of a summer evening
ignited our imaginations
and cooled us off
as evening settled
on our hearts.
But too soon for us,
children of summer fun,
autumn’s leaves began to fall,
school began in earnest
and we spent the rest of the year
dreaming about those summer days
And as I walk through the park,
the heat of the day finally
dissipating into evening shadows,
I hear the crack of the bat
and watch the children
playing sandlot ball,
running bases
and hitting home runs
as only children
of summer can do.
And as this day
turns into night,
I find a bit
of sweet relief
from the heat
of a relentless
summer sun.

A poem that me little niece write for my Blog ta day …………..

A POEM ABOUT SUMMER TIME
Summer is great because we
Spend our holiday
Out of school
And if we didnt have summer
Maybe we have to stay at school
And no vacation
Summer is the
Third season
And one more thing
I know about summer
Summer is when it is very hot
And if some one goes out
Please dont forget
Their sunglasses

If I had a dog
I would take care of it
And fed it too

And on more thing Amayia know about dogs
They communicate by saying woof woof
I love dogs

Sorry I must beat the Cold Weather. No Summer in my Country 😥
:entertained:
WoW Love these writes tonight

Ways I Beat The Heat’
When the day gets to feeling mighty warm’
I have to have my coffee to keep the charm
For without not sure not wanting to cause harm
I fix as usual but, add ice cubes now sweetness runs to under arms giggle
Another thing that really works is running cold water over wrist may even yarn
Cools you down quick taking away harm not causing false alarms
Brings out the inner charms
And I bet its a pretty country too Carmen_Bas …. Thank you much for your presence here at the CPC your but always welcome … Big Hugs now … :love: :love:
I am here,
Sitting on the beach
Viewing the wave all
summer long.
I am here,
Sitting on the beach
Looking at the sun shine down
all summer long..
I am here,
Sitting on the beach
Looking up the stars
all summer long..
Iam here on the beach
getting a tan and catching
the sun rays..
I am here on the beach
walking and collecting
sea shells along the
shore.
Iam here at the beach
watch the children build
a sand castle so high..
I could spend my entire day here
on this beach
Every single day
Because it is so relaxing on this beach
***My Grand kids at the Lake***
The soft warm water
Brushes there skin as they swim
they reach for a blue beach towel
To dry there wet body’s
And warm themselves in the sun
Watching the clouds drift across the sky..
They squint Into the bright sun
Peeking out from behind a cloud
Warming the lively world around them.
They stretch and quietly yawn
Curling into there towel
The sun warms them As they daydream..
The sky reflects on the lake;
It’s beauty reaches out to them.
They see there reflection
In the clear, blue water
When it is so gentle..
