If Summer


If Summer wore a watch, it would always be happy hour.
If Summer were a perfume, it would smell like clean sheets with notes of melon, lime and toasted marshmallows.
If Summer joined a band, it would play the windchimes.
If Summer went on a roadtrip, it would drive a Ford Woody with all the windows rolled down.
If Summer carried an umbrella, it would be in a drink.
If Summer had a nickname, it would be Skeeter.
If Summer went to school, it would take hula lessons.
If Summer had a favorite movie, it would be Picnic.
If Summer were a dog, it would sleep under the house all day.
If Summer were a country, its flag would be a faded t-shirt.
If Summer were a job, we’d want to work weekends.
If Summer were a party, we’d crash it.

I love Summer, heat, humidity and all.
