June

What is it about this month of June
That carries around a different tune
Could it be the whites of Wimbledon
Or the boys of summer wrapped in a win
Willowy warm trees lined on a path
Bikers pedaling miles doing their math
Well-groomed men setting their tees
Dressed up ladies settling with ease
The washing of cars and the dipping in pools
The packing away of sweaters and wools
Refreshment stand lemonades
Red-striped street parades
Fishing and football and outdoor beach volleyball
Stomach knots tied by a summer love fall
These are the delicious and decadent days
A lasting sensation we do hope stays
