2015 had been a pretty temperate summer but, now, it’s hot — darn hot! That was the inspiration for this week’s Typewriter Rodeo poem by Sean Petrie.
SUMMER IN TX
For a blink it’s spring
Wildflowers and rains
And then — boom!
Summer’s back here again
Melty-soft pavement
And a/c a humming
Got chocolate in your car?
It’ll soon be a gumming
Slather on sunscreen
Holy mercury it’s hot!
Circle round and round
For that one shady spot
June, July and August
How much higher can it get?
And most important of all —
Is it football season yet?
