Summer Couplets
Angels tune harps to small birds' tweets
While crows fix beady eyes on tasty treats
MLF
Summer displays directions
On footpaths of reflections
MLF
Happy is summertime all year round
The present is where happy is found
MLF
Summer creates scenes of fun and laughter
Joy and love and happy ever after
MLF
Summer scolds the pavement with its heat
Folks show tanned skin from head to bare feet
GH
The roar of May Bank Holiday
Motorbike psychology
OVJ
The worker's role we celebrate
Oh what fun it generates
MLF
Summer came early and brought her toys to play
Sunlight and heat she builds throughout the day
GH
Borodin conducted Liszt
Later Mercury composed work they missed
MLF
Summer's musical number
Knit through man-made wonder
MLF
Summer whispers during Mercury retrograde
Communication errors will definitely be made
GH
Summer's love is clear and bright
It's communication at its might
MLF
Summer sun beats down relentlessly
He bakes the land and boils the sea
GH
When rag-and-bone men made their play
Lads and lassies well they made hay
MLF
A churning sea now settles down
For sun and fun as life rebounds
MLF
Summer clears away the cobwebs of my mind
And exposes dark corners -- what will I find?
GH
Well done to Spring she cleared webs out
Now Summer calls: a bottle of stout
MLF
I found in summer my life's refrain
This kiss of joy brought many gains
MLF
Exotic jasmine dances in on summer breezes
She caresses my face -- my soul she teases
GH
Sun scents sound in air so still
And seeds beauty for one's mind to refill
MLF
A tease a dance a summer breeze
Enough to create hearts of ease
MLF
Those damned birds singing at the screech of dawn
Yawn yawn yawn yawn jaw-breaking YAWN!
OVJ
That early easy bird song awakes
Oh man oh man I LOVE summer daybreaks
MLF
What light through yonder window shines?
It is the sun? Yawn yawn!
OVJ
Let me up and out there's road for action
This day ahead brings perfecto faction
MLF
Summer days a freckled haze
Hide from those ultraviolet rays
OVJ
Just great sunscreen down in the shop
It's sixty- seventy-degree sunblock
MLF
