July the First

Today rockets won’t glare

And the bombs will not burst

For, although it’s July,

It is only the first.


Still, the calendar flips 

And the stores are stacked high

With the burgers and hot dogs

That customers buy.


The humidity’s up,

The mosquitoes a’buzz,

So to get in the swing,

As most everyone does…


Find your sandals and shorts,

Grab the sunscreen and Deet

And accept that it’s summer,

With sunshine and heat.


Take a break from routine;

Have some chips and some beer

For we’ve somehow surpassed 

The first half of the year.
