A Dream in the Sun

Today is 102 degrees Fahrenheit, and very sunny,

And to those of you who are reading, it might be funny.

But to dear Lacy Game, it was not.

The poor girl was hot, hot, and hot!


She lay on the grass, on the lawn, 

Staring at the sky, the beautiful dawn.

What she would give for a cold ice-cream, 

But then she had a dream that made her beam…


She was soaring through clouds made of the color green,

And the sun was the color of a freshly-baked bean.

The world was inverted and that was that,

And she wore a sunny, yellow hat.


So the key to surviving on a very hot, sunny day?

Have a nice dream, it doesn’t pay!
