*Summertime*

Time to chill out, relax and unwind,

And leave all of your stress behind.

Ice cream and cold *beverages* will quench your thirst,

Especially when the heat is the worst.

Music, barbecues, games galore,

Laughter everywhere.

Who could ask for more?

Ever wished it could stay this way?

I wish it was summertime every day.
