Summer

SUMMER

Dog's tongue bobs and drips
Heat waves ripple on shed roofs
Too hot for poems.

I may not always succeed in making a difference, but I will go to my grave knowing I at least tried.

How long have you had that death wish Neville
The purpose in life is to have fun.
After you grasp that everything else seems insignificant !!!
