Much to my chagrin
This is how a normal day begins

Just like a Mercurial Californian
Morning, noon and night
California girl’s foresight
Longing for weather just right

Too cold at night
Too warm by day
The weather needs to be
Just my way

As the days grow hot
We Dressing in layers
A feo pua
I’d rather not

Such the way of California play
Tank top light shorts, zip up hoodie
Bathing suit always underneath
As the weather increases
Articles of clothes releases

A bead of perspiration
Smudges artisan make up
Irritation Hours of conception
Many shade of perfection

Once translucent powder
Gets moist tacky
Splotched patches
Look, wacky

Protecting the complexion
Shadowing and contour deception
To get every color demure not bright
to make everything just right

Defeating the Sun continually heating
A neck cooler now, that’s cheating
The weather never used to be this way

A California day hazy in the morning
Without warning they begin
Santa Ana winds blowing, dies away
Ending in a perfectly comfortable sunny day

Now we contend with chem trails
Severe blankets of pollen
Covers everything Geez !  
Even my dog has allergies


Inspired songs;

1) Against the wind
Bob Seger and the bullet band1980

2) Dust in the wind
By Kansas 1978

3) Blowing in the wind
Bob Dylan 1962

4) Santa Ana winds 1980
By The Beach Boys

Messy hair
Lost a pair
Of what I forgot
"Oh yes! now I got"
Pair of my socks
Stuffed in a box
Dreadful ugly locks
Trying to braid
My messy hair
Ahh, I will just leave it
I now longer care
Gotta trim short, this hair
So my head is free
To feel the air...

Such a hot weather.
Ma Cherie May 2016
Diggin' in the dirt
have a little fun
drink a little beer
have another one

Sun is really hot
and I just want to play
gotta go outside
gotta get away

Go swimming at the crick'
Maybe catch a fish
cook it on the bank
we don't need a dish

Get a little tan
get a little burn
Doesn't really matter
cuz I'll bet we'll never learn

Grab onto the rope
and come on for the ride
It's way too nice out here
for you to stay inside!

Raindrops Apr 2016
Sky covered by gray clouds
It looks soft but hardened by its burden inside
It will burst any moment
And let it all out
It would be a relief
When the rain comes out
Everything will be better & fine
