Poem: Dreams of Summer Days

From the Desk of J.P.R on

Cliff diving and drive-ins 

Float trips and wide grins

Tan skin and a long day

Fun starts in May


Stargazing and smores

Ice cream and hearty roars

Long nights with good friends

Wishin' summer never ends


Sand dancing and cold beer

Memory of a good woman near

Moonroof open with bestie on aux 

Sunset on the lake of rocks


Vagabond John and Co

Minivan of adventure in tow

Mountain man and river rat

Two years wearing freedom hat


Work all day and chores galore

Labor hard and don't be a bore

Summer of 23 is here

Cheers to all its a good year

So I grabbed a fistful of breaks and whipped around to go see what was going on. I roll up and say something like," Excuse me sir, are you alrig...
