Analysis of Summertime Delights



Tis almost charming and a true delight
To feel, in summer, the mosquitoes bite.
And when the sluggish sun breaks its own crust,
The wind can teach you how to smoke some dust.

But when the air smells of somnolent bliss,
Any bee can give you its sweetest kiss.
When you are quite bored and you stifle yawns,
Spunky crickets trigger songs on the lawn.

Don't think to go for a refreshing swim!
Jellyfish come beneath the surface dim!
Maybe at home, the things can turn out cool,
But your car stops because it's out of fuel.
