On this perfect summer day

The sun shines bright,
lighting up the side of your house,
the wind dies down, and suddenly its 75!
You feel warm, and nice and cozy,
then the light dies down and its mid-day bright,
what a perfect sort of light!
A perfect way, to spend this day,
a lemonade in one hand,
a good book in the other,
no need for your sunglasses,
the light is just right for reading,
when you pledge to finish chapter 10,
and finish the book instead,
your friends call from,
across the street, "wanna play frisbee?"
they yell, "sure" your reply,
and until the sun dies, and the thermostat
gets started up, you keep playing frisbee,
on this perfect day,
In such a perfect sort of light. ●
