Summer's Ire

Summer's Ire

Fire ants, cottonwood
allergies a' screaming
Tall grass, hot tar roads
mosquitoes are a' teeming

Hot wind, sticky sweat
how can one love this?
Heat-blue sky, suntan lines
are stuff I would not miss

This time of year I despise
with all the "joys" it brings
Think I'll just hibernate
and wait till winter sings
