Sirens yip and bark
Like frightened gazelles on a
Asphalt savanna
Children and teens howl
And laugh at games and parties
Like hyena packs
Cars and trucks rumble
Like lions lounging in the
Hot summer sunshine
Parents chatter in
The shade of oak trees, like a
Calm herd of zebras
Smoke rises in air
And all gather to the grill
Like a water hole

Sirens yip and bark
Like frightened gazelles on a
Asphalt savanna
Children and teens howl
And laugh at games and parties
Like hyena packs
Cars and trucks rumble
Like lions lounging in the
Hot summer sunshine
Parents chatter in
The shade of oak trees, like a
Calm herd of zebras
Smoke rises in air
And all gather to the grill
Like a water hole
