On a hot, lazy day
By jfarrell
The ant said to the bee
“Hey man, come check my weed”
But, up jumped the duck
“Honey bear, don’t touch that drug”
The duck and the bee, in love, hugged,
“Well, more for me” said the ant and shrugged.
Too hot to do anything…
Just lay there and sweat…
And watch the sweat…
Focussing in on individual beads…
The acorn said to the tree
“Mummy time to feed, feed me, feed”
“Now just hold on my Little Flower,
“We gotta wait for a rain shower.”
On queue, the rain poured down
Enough to feed, not to drown.
The sizzling summer heat makes me dopey,
Sleepy, just don’t wanna move…
Stay right here
And watch….
The boat, battered by the river, is hit by another wave,
All aboard pray “Please, let us all be safe.”
But, the clouds part and the sun shines through
Bringing hope to all of the crew
All aboard are in the navy, but… wait…
It’s just a bead of sweat disappearing into my naval.
