SUMMER GARDEN

 

Suspended Baskets Spill Scented Color

Gently Swinging In The Summer Breeze

Pollen Drifts Unseen in the Fragrant Air

Causing Sufferers to Cough and Sneeze

 

Maids Scantily Clad In Pastel Colors

Girls Wearing Little to Keep Them Cool

Scanty Outfits Set Men’s Pulses Racing

The Men Who Watch Sit Back and Drool

 

Men in Shorts Wear Socks with Sandals

Middle-aged Women Dressed Up As Lamb

Deciding To Satisfying Their Appetite

Eating Sandwiches of Cheese and Ham

 

Lunch Consumed and Glasses Emptied

The Drink Is Drunk So No More Boozing

Homeward Now They Make Their Way

To End the Day by Dozing or Snoozing

 

Babies Asleep in Buggies or Prams

Children Laugh From Slide and Swings

The Garden Full Of Carefree Chatter

Roaring Trade Till the Last Bell Rings
