Half the year is gone
It seemed pretty quick
No snow today, but
We got our share of rain
Now it is gray, no blue
Except for my feelings
I am feeling blue
The grass is mowed
It really looks nice, but
With no sun and just clouds
It can be quite depressing
For a holiday in the middle
Of the year. We had some
Fireworks last night, but
Like everything else
Less is more. You get less
And it costs more. Just
When you were going to say
Wow, the show is over
The big show is tonight
It will not start until 10:30
Little children should be in bed
The weather will be chilly
The fireworks will start
There will be a lot of cheering
Many kids will be scared
And truth know everyone
Will be happy when the
Finally occurs. Then the
Scrambling to the cars and
The drive home. People
Won’t say it, but they will
Be glad that it is all over
Sunshine makes all the difference
It brings happiness with it
Clouds are depressing and
Tomorrow is a work day
Five days into the second
Half of the year. Ads for
School clothes will begin
And optimism will be at
A low. Where did the summer go?
