August Days
Our pool splashes, our campfire songs,
our ice cream dashes, our pings our pongs.
Our badminton, tennis, archery, too,
our Monopoly, and, of course, our Clue.
Our flip flop shoes, our no-school rules,
our trip, our beach, our being fools.
Hot dogs, s'mores at summer camp,
lemonade and firefly lamps.
Our happy, humid, mosquitoey play,
our happiness with August days.
