It is already almost August?! Didn’t summer just begin?! That was the inspiration for this Typewriter Rodeo poem.
Slow Down Summer
Hey whoa wait
Didn’t you just begin?
How is it already
Near the end?
Has this searing heat
Sped up time?
Or all that cold beer
With a slice of lime
‘Cuz yeah it was hot
But school was out
And that Mopac traffic?
Better without doubt
All those days at the Springs
And greenbelt hikes
Paddle boards and kayaks
Trails and bikes
Summer please don’t leave
You’ve been such a blessing
And worst of all when you’re done
The government’s back in session.
