country music
summer nights
getting close
by fire light
sneaking glances
drinking beer
making sure
the coast is clear
pretty girls
excited boys
experiencing
summer joys
paisley on
the radio
guessing just
how far to go
sweaty bodies
kept in check
in chairs out
on the cottage deck
slip down through
the boat house door
to swim out to
the float off shore
summer boys
and summer girls
swim out past
the water swirls
washing off
the summer dust
and giving in
to summer lust
cottage campers
paddle by
as silently
our campers lie
sneaking glances
drinking beer
making sure
the coast is clear
country music
summer nights
knowing when
the time is right
now is time
to turn the page
as two young campers
come of age.
