And a lyric:
“Gettin’ Hot”
Do I have to turn the AC on?
It’s hot in here; the spring has come and gone.
I hear the sound of plywood being sawn,
But I don’t want to have to close the windows!
A mockingbird is singing on the roof.
A Rottweiler emits a mighty “Woof!”
Egyptian music from a truck: “Shoof shoof.”
And I don’t want to have to close the windows.
A season of immense electric bills,
Cold showers, whirling fans, and insect kills.
Summer has its leisure and its thrills,
But I don’t want to have to close the windows.
The roar of mowers and construction trucks,
The smell of grass, and chickens, geese, and ducks,
(What’s another word that rhymes with “trucks”?)
“Now children, go upstairs and close the windows!”
***
Help me with the third line, please? A *tasteful* word that rhymes with trucks and ducks?
If I can finish this last verse (starts in post above), I’ll retitle it “May in Union County” and submit it to “The County Edge”!
