August
August!Blackeyed Susans and Queen Anne's Lace
pepper the hillsides all over the place,
while Sunflowers raise their arms in the air
and bow their heads, as if to pray
that a few drops of rain might be sent their way.
The corn in the fields is at least 5' high
and the sun shines brightly
in the mid-August Sky.
Sullen children are anxious --
school bells will soon ring
and the stores are all crowded
for school shopping.
There are notebooks and paper
and pens to be bought,
Pencils, erasers and
more of that rot....
Clothing and shoes to say
your kid's got the look
and don't forget to buy something
to cover those books.
Although Mom and Dad
will be happy they'll be back in school,
But most of the children will
think that's not cool.
Football and Band camp
will come to an end
The first game of the season
is just 'round the bend.
