Summer Song

Summer of sweat

The intense summer of the Middle East
You simply cannot beat
Either grin and greet the heat
Or just accept defeat

Many people flee away for a treat
To faraway lands or their homes sweet
With an alibi of a family meet
However many can’t afford such a retreat
So they perform the feat of bearing the heat
The only solution is to live with caveat
Sunscreens, water and the right chows to eat

Summer of Extremes

There seems to be a competition run
Between the aircons of the world and the Sun
Both like to outdo each other manifold
Leave us to suffer the blow hot and blow cold

Indoors are frigid and shivery
Outdoors are torrid and sultry
Strong body thermostats always help
Or the ultra temperature variations will make you yelp

Summer of infections

Microbes and germs rise from the ashes
Soar like phoenixes and cause infections and rashes
Thriving in hot and humid conditions
Through flu and fever they make their renditions

And they only get stronger
The prescription list is similarly longer
Doctors and pharmacists increase their earnings
So do television TRP ratings

Summer of malls

Clogged is the shopping mall
With people trying to do away with boredom and pall
With nothing else to excite or enthrall
Shopping is the national past time after all

Little amusing dancing dolls
Joyful fountains and fabricated water falls
Jokers juggling colourful balls
Are some little sights at the malls

Summer of slack

Couch potato and potato fry
Sports and games is a far cry
Business is also quite dry
Most often you only lounge and lie

The roads are empty and dry
From venturing out people shy
After sun set is when you can go out you can ply
Night clubs are given a fair try

Summer of cheer

Summer is joyful and lifts you from the pits
With flowing champagne and other spirits
Getting a glorious sun tan on your hide
Will be neighbour’s envy and owner’s pride

Summer is also the season of hope
Looking at the sun and learning to cope
How the mighty sun goes down every evening
With a sinking feeling
But comes up bright and shining
Smiling every morning
