summer of play

Curtis Allison

in orlando the month after may
rain and sun every day.
me and my family all anxious to play
with mickley and minnie and daisy may
not wanting to leave just wishing to stay

on to daytona we contined to play
seeing the waves and daytona speedway
not wanting to leave just wishing to stay

atlanta is where we will end our stay
siting and watching the atlanta braves play
baseball and hot dogs on a hot summer day
just me and my family and a summer day
