Boys of Summer
Four through seven
The wonder years
Peach-fuzz heads
Sun ripened ears
Favorite t-shirts
Sneakers, hats
Great Escape dreams
Wiffle-ball bats
Running through sprinklers
In the woods on a hike
Fishing with Dad
Riding your bike
Day Camp stories
A million times told
Boy pranks and boy jokes
That never grow old
Tree forts and climbing
From dawn until dusk
Hot dogs, ice cream
Sweet corn to husk
Sunburn and Band-aids
A weekly event
Lemonade-stand profits
Have all been spent
When the summer of boys
Finally comes to an end
The memories left
No millionaire could spend
J.R.G.5.27.09
