summertime

Sunsets of a thousand colors, jumping into crystal blue waters, yeah, school's out for summer. At first, it’s a shock - ignoring the clock, we’re like prisoners set free - for a two-month party - and no responsibilities Ditch the books bitches - you’re my tribe - summer’s our vibe - it’s time to slip-n-slide. Barbeque, corn on the cob, juicy peaches, lemonade, popsicles, hot sandy beaches, thunderstorms, short shorts, cotton candy clouds, let's get a little too silly and a little too loud. Coleslaw, hotdogs, sharing French fries Charles smokin' ribs, burgers piled high, lounging by the pool, with friends dropping by. Sunglasses, flip-flops, midnight walks, crop tops, sunrise mornings, throwing frisbees in the park Playlist DJ’n, the bare feet are tappin', we’re TikTok dancin’, and, truth or dare, I’m seeing a couple of new romances. Ferris wheel spinnin', funnel-cake eatin’, roller coaster screamin’, the kettle-corn’s poppin’ for rom-com streamin’ and reality-TVing. My mom asked, “Why are you girls all sleeping in one room?” The answer? “Cause there ain’t no cure for the summertime snooze” Why doesn’t someone make a sunblock perfume? Umbrellas, watermelons, 3am dips, Taco Bell trips and roasting marshmallows on the poolside fire-pit Beach towels spread like butterfly wings, hey, our tans are starting to match our bikinis! Come on, relax, have an ice-cold martini. We’re not doin’ nothin' - we’re makin’ memories!
