Summertime Rolls

Fell into
A sea of grass
And disappeared among
The shady blades
Children all
Ran over me
Screaming tag!
You are the one!

He trips her as
Her sandals fail
She says stop!
I’m a girl
Whose fingernails are made
Of mother’s pearl

Yellow buttercup
Helicopters
Orange buttercat
Chasing after
The crazy bee
Mad about somebody

Me and my girlfriend
Don’t wear no shoes
Her nose is painted pepper
Sunlight
She loves me
I mean it’s serious
As serious can be

She sings a song and
I listen to what it says:
If you want a friend
Feed any animal
There was so much space
I cut me a piece
With some fine wine
It brought peace to my mind
In the summertime
And it rolled

Summer, oh
Oh, the summertime rolls
