Ode to Summer


Mitch Cronin

Recommended Posts

Or another crack at poetry

The blissful sweet feeling of having no pressing matters as you wake

The gratifying feeling of wasting time just for relaxation's sake

Time to play and time to breath and time to feel

all sorts of things that seem to heal

the wounds of stress and grind

that tear the soul, dull the senses, and cloud the weary mind

'tis here I sit on the eve of my last day of freedom this summer

from here on in I'll be sold

alas I am but a labourer

prostituting my skills at night and in the cold

What an infernal soul wrenching bummer!

Forty three or forty four

I can't just now remember which

summers come and summers gone

in the life of this particular Mitch

of all my summers freedom and play

the best of all in this leisure spree

is the time spent in that wondrous place

where time stands still and nothing matters

but that my family is with me

So while I toil in a hangar dark and dirty

with bits and pieces of airplanes and tools

and other poor souls tired and surly

I'll be thinking of freedom from this life of drudgery

Made so only because of some fools

Goodbye summer I'll miss you

but I'll be back again

I'm sure it'd be less of an issue

if the rest of the summer brought rain ;)

Gee,

That sounds like our song. After a labourous time sailing, laying on the beach and drinking too much beer. Husband and I finally made it back home.

Work again tomorrow :-(

Such is life in the summer!
