It’s a hot and lazy time of year <br />With temperatures rising high <br />A body doesn’t want to work <br />Doesn’t even want to try <br /> <br />It’s time to lie around and rest <br />Not exert much energy <br />It’s too hot to work but rather <br />We want to take it pretty easy <br /> <br />And if you do have to work <br />Either do it early in the morn <br />Or after the sun goes down <br />Sometime before the dawn <br /> <br />Oh how nice it feels <br />On these dog days of summer <br />When the sun drops down <br />The day has turned a bit cooler <br /> <br />So in the midst of winter time <br />When snow is on the hills <br />Dog days of summer sound <br />Kind of good amongst the chills!<br /><br />Marilyn Lott<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/dog-days-of-summer/
