Analysis of Summer Day as a Young Boy
In a puddle of pale skin
Summer clothes
The ice cream truck drives by.
Playing enchanting melodies,
With colorful pictures,
Lure the ear and eye.
It is hot this day,
Between me and my friends
We have a few dollars
To buy a cone and a coke
And we share them
Beneath the shade of an oak.
