ADIEU TO AUGUST

It was the most unforgettable summer

Some folks say, “Nay. it was a bummer”

Sweltering, humidity caught us in a grip

With never ebbing desire to give a slip

To shed our city skins for just few days

To join the exodus, come out and play

With liquid laughter and limpid fashion

Cool summer days were mostly rationed

Relentless heat drove us to distraction

In the golden ochre light's hot reaction

Sunflowers greeted the burning sun

While most people were quite undone

All that was needed be calm and listen

And view the remarkable sunset prism

Patiently wait, hear the song of slumber

Chanting praise the last days of summer

Yes, I feel summer's heated, parting kiss

Adieu to sultry August, I will not miss.
