,
The summer weighs us down with sullen  heat
Even cats and dogs  sit still as stones
Gone are early flowers with fragrance sweet
The summer weighs us down with sullen  heat
The hot flagstones return my angry beat
As people  scurry by ears blockes by phones.
The summer weighs us down with sullen  heat
Even cats and dogs  sit still as stones
