AUGUST

August is the time of summer heat

Of air-conditioners and cooling drinks

Swimming in the nearest pool

Or sitting under running sprinklers

Dreaming of snow-capped mountains

Eating ice cream and frozen ice cones

Doing nothing, moving not one muscle

Waiting for September to arrive

With gold harvest and hard work.

August, get on with you, hurry now.

I am melting away to nothing.

Ahhh! A lovely refreshing shower

Comes to wash away the heat.
