Summer Sun

Makes me dumber than a rock, afraid of the UV rays- you make me paler than a piece of chalk.

Makes me dumber than a rock.
Afraid of too many UV rays- you make me paler than a piece of chalk.

I really don't want melanoma.
I don't like that sweaty teenage aroma.

Might as well put me in a coma,
I'd really like to know the touch of a diploma.

I fainted last summer,
I didn't drink enough water and I wasn't much of dreamer.

Pretty much forced to go out,
You'll probably burn me- no doubt.

No tan, nope- just red,
like pimento cheese spread.

I'm sure one day you'll make me the new infra-red
I question the fact that you've yet to force me to drop dead.

Summer sun, go away away,
Summer sun, never come back another day.

Author's Note

:) Every summer.
Tell me what you think.
