Summertime Blues

Summer time can be a problem

if you suffer from hay fever or bugs

the heat seems to make it even worse

so you have to stock up on all the drugs

Close by water or in the evening

appears to exasperate it more

but being indoors in this extreme heat

is not what you want to do, that`s for sure!

Those pesky midges attack your skin

red itchy welts just doesn't look so good

along with a runny nose and sneezing

this is not summer, as I understood

Another nasty thing that seems to occur

sun burnt skin, red and sore to the touch

and it really looks so unpleasant

all this bright hot sun can be too much !

So you`re all huddled up in the winter

remember all the suffering you moaned about

when the heat brings the summer time blues

take your medication and go on out.
