Summer is tired after hosting a season of parties
She doesn’t want to pick up your empty glasses anymore
Or take the scraps to the compost
Summer thinks barbecues are overrated
And if she sees one more hot dog, well...
She might have to let the wasps get her revenge
Summer is weary of politely ignoring all the skin exposed
Not that she’s shaming any bodies
She just can’t wait for sweaters and shoes that cover toes
Summer is done cleaning all the beach towels
And sweeping up the sand
that appears every time she leaves the room
Summer will always love blackberries and peaches
But she thinks it's time for apples and pears,
Early sunsets and pumpkin spice everywhere
Summer is not sad to go, but it’s early yet
Still warm, maybe one last gathering will do
Just a small, friendly goodbye barbecue...
