Mowing the lawn in the heat of the day,
The blooming of flowers now beginning to fade,
Yearning for comfort in a blanket of shade,
Are signs that summer has come.
On Texas terms
In Texas weather
to breathe is to sweat, to sweat to breathe.
Burned by the sun,
Teased by a breeze,
Ice tea, if you please.
Yes, summer has come.
