I wait all year for you to show
And when you do, my heart’s aglow
I wear few clothes, but just enough
To hide the cellulite and stuff.
Your days are long and hot and fun
The water’s warm from all the sun
We swim, we picnic, we yell at raccoons
Who knock over our trashcans under the moon.
Every day in July is a gift from above
There’s so much to do and so much to love
Swimming, sunbathing, water sports
Baseball, hotdogs, flip-flops, shorts.
Growing a garden, eating outside
Cutting fresh flowers, avoiding riptides
Biking, ice cream, watching the sunset
Kids, pets, adults … all soaking wet.
As long as it is, with its 31 days
It still goes by fast, in a sun-drenched haze
So, don’t bitch to me about the heat
Or I’ll kick you with my sunburned feet.
