The day started slow
Slow-moving waves
There is no breeze
Geese floating by
No snow. 58 degrees
Summer is here
Everyone’s favorite
Season by far
Safer for walking
Or driving car
Deer still roam
Day and night
Their cadavers
Provide lunch on the road
For crows and vultures
It is a mystical time of the year
Flowers are blooming
After a long wait
Ladies are bragging
Showing pictures of their
Delight. Compliments come
Most are genuine
Graduation parties
Weddings and anniversaries
Fill up the time
Preparing plans for floats
For the fourth of July
The coming and goings
Of people, taking vacation early
Camping and boating
Taking in the sights
People seem happy, but
Complain about gas prices
The rise in inflation
Problems with distribution
Politicians begin blaming
Instead of doing their work
They leave the border open
Shut down the drilling for oil
Ride bikes instead of driving
Manage to fall there, too
