Fruitlessly fishing for alliterative phrases
that could capture the essence of summer's phases,
but switched instead to a little rhyme...
I'll be more alliterative next time...
Suffocating, sweltering, Good God it's 104!
Languid, listless, Let's watch one more...
movies from RedBox only cost a dollar
The A/C is so loud we all have to holler
Take a trip, in fact take three
Travel awakens the spirit in thee!
Return to dog-eared books strewn around the place
It's not that I'm reading at a snail's pace
No, I'm watching Las Vegas and playing on the Internet
Don't eat another carb! Have you exercised once yet?
Wait for an evening breeze to take Reggie for a walk
Call family, not to request, just to talk
Work on the great American novel at a local cafe
But my vacationing muse just won't obey
And tell me that's not the letter welcoming us back.
Prepare for the crunch, good-bye to the slack
