Summer holidays

The greatest time of the year
Summer holidays
Much freedom and a pint of beer
Summer holidays
Just do what you want
There’s no need to pant

Just have some fun with your friends
Summer holidays
You got even time to watch the ants
Summer holidays
Don’t ever dare to think of school
Summer holidays have no rules

Meet friends, have fun or just chill out
Buy milk, go swim or eat an ice upon a roundabout
You understand what they are like?
Summer holidays are the time of your life!

to Be a Kid

There are no Mondays
Tuesdays are the weekend
And Sundays are a Friday

Oh to be enthralled
By gorging frybread
Pancakes in bed
Couches for beds
And bunkbeds at the cousins
Sweet dreams and to
Play all night instead

This is a week
There are yet 2
Months and someth'n left

In this season
Paradise is our guest

Bliss mixed with

Summer Vacation

It's sumertime,
School vacation has begun,
Time for children to play,
And have fun in the sun.
Now the children
Are out of school,
There are trees to climb,
Swimming in the pool.
Time to spend
With special friends.
Seems they're on the go
Until the days end.
But when summer vacation
Is finally through,
It's time to hit the books
And return to school.

Digging Holes In The Sand Blues

The kids are digging holes
In the sand with their plastic shovel
In order to build a sandcastle
At the beach
During their summer vacation

This is such a special summer holiday for me. I haven't known myself so relaxed in years.

Tropical Dreads

Trpical dreads and summer holidays!
Full of the sunshine and the heat that it brings;
To lay peacefully under a coconut tree with my muse,
And like the beauty of your act in the Valley of Peace.

Last Week of March

School was over,
student rest from hung over
summer is approaching,
sunlight glisten on
frozen asphalt,
I shiver an squint.
It's hot to walk at ease,
benevolence of nature
beams and glimmer,
flowers are deigning,
trees are undressing,
withered leaves are falling
they fling in many places,
on the road,
on the house top,
on the window sill
here and there,
beat by beat.
yellow trees lavishly blooming
like yellow ribbons

Myrtle Beach

Myrtle Beach in South Carolina,
There i met you consulting the oracles of love!
But to find out about your spiritual needs was my mission;
And like the salt on the table of love.

Sale, bale, tale, vale, dale, kale, male, pale;
And like your summer vacation at Myrtle Beach!
But i saw an empty beer bottle on your table.

In The Summer Sun

We are burning in the summer sun
In water sports, we are having fun
In the summer vacation
We are in action
Playing many games
And learning many gems
Needed to decorate
This short life
With love and friendship
Courtesy and relationship
Life is a fun
When with a friend
Life is a race and we run
When a foe is behind
Or fiends all around
Live life with happiness abound
This month is June
We are burning in the summer sun
In water sports, we are having fun

Good Time Girls

It's another summer holiday
We go looking out for the good time girls
Good time girls smarter than normal girls
Good time girls drinking and taking pills
Good time girls having a good time
Sit in the sun drinking expensive wine
Good time girls I want to be with you
Pick me up when I am feeling blue
It's another summer holiday
We go looking down for the good time girls
Good time girls smarter than normal girls
Good time girls straight hair and hair that curls
Good time girls having a good time
Sit in the sun drinking electric wine
Good time girls will you come out with me
Making me happy bringing me cups of tea (ha!)
Oh yes
Good time girls having a good time [etc...]

Memories

The summers were longer, they went on forever
Oh and the sky so blue
We never worried about anything
We didnt question the nature of things
We didnt want to know
Talking in whispers and wondering
Oh and I loved you so
Memories, they linger with you but you
Soon forget that we started in innocence
Memories, they linger with you but you
Soon forget when youre grown
We dream in the night, of mythical days
And nights in white satin
But when the child wakes, the fantasy breaks
We didnt know what the future would bring
We didnt want to know
Something was growing inside me
Oh and I loved you so
Memories, they linger with you but you
Soon forget that we started in innocence

A Treasure of Memories

At will, I dig into that treasure of memories
Built at home till my early twenties…
Cycling to school at eight in the dense fog,
Wearing a short skirt and a maroon knitted top.

I guess all the exercise warmed me up,
Wore no stockings, scarf, cap or gloves.
Bare headed, hair flying in the air
We raced with gusto, had no care.

Rushed home and hurriedly ate snacks,
With the school bag still on my back.
Before I knew, my friends would call,
And I would run out to play basket ball.

Wildly chase each other and plot and scheme,
Daring the boys to play with an all girls team.
In summer vacations, we were up on the trees,
Neighbours would call us a bunch of monkeys.

Like Candy On The Tongue

Up on the hill, day after day,
watching the world around him unfold, from his amphitheater on the bay
Sits a leader of the modern world, on a summer holiday
While the world around him struggles, with the problems of the day

Like candy on the tongue, and the hot Mediterranean sun
all the colors will ere long fade away

All round the world, headless and astray
An old Greek tragedy, acts on the world stage, rewritten for new actors, its a laughable play
With an endless budget, a first recipe for delay
While the leader of the modern world, watches sailing boats at play

Like candy on the tongue, and the hot Mediterranean sun
all the colors will ere long fade away

How could they do without him, It's a laughable play
With an endless budget, on summer holiday

Simple things amuse him

Blame It On The Arabs

summer vacation!
i witness a wisp
of the american dream
he flung his youngest over the balcony
of the 15th floor of the high rise hotel
then he flung his oldest over
as she entered the room
he jumped
her next husband
will never hear
her bitching
about his driving
disney thrives

is this really america?
land of the free
is this really america?
home of the brave

all the ghosts have brain damage

Let The Party Begin

Let the party begin
Come on let's sing this song
The day is over, it's party time
Forget your problems and drink a glas of wine
The celebration is happening tonight
Just feel the rhythm, till the morning light
Let's have fun all night long
I know you got the key
All together we're strong
A feeling wild and free
Let's have fun all night long
I know you got the key
Take my hand and come with me to wonderland
Let the party begin
We're dancing tonight
We're ready to go
And the feeling is right
Let the party begin
The music goes on
Come on let's sing this song

Welcome back To School!

Welcome Back To School

Welcome back to school
Summer's over and once again school rules
It's now September a long way from June
Glad to have you welcome back to school

You have had your fun
Summer vacation is now long gone
Now it's time to learn

Welcome back to school
Learn prepare to take command of your world
Put control of your future in your hands

Don't look so serious show some enthusiasm

What did I know?

Even on weekends my mother got up
to prepare breakfast,
as she did every day,
lunch and dinner too

making certain that we got up
in time for church,
were dressed in our best clothes,
with shining shoes.

The big old white house was a haven,
a place where we loved to be
and she baked cookies, made ginger beer
during the summer holidays

and everything came so naturally
as if life was destined to be like this
and what did I know
about the harsh sacrifices
that love demands,

Trendy

most of my friends who went to Chicago
on care giving jobs
finally left for good the marriage
they had in the Philippines,
just this morning i had a chat with a
close friend whose husband had her
declared presumptively dead in court
so he can marry another,
she says it's a trend
marriages are bound to be broken
vows have no meaning
she did not mind at all if she is
'dead' to him and to the law,
she too has a man of her own now
a work to attend to,
another summer vacation in California
and in Paris sometime
this April,
and then she enumerates other names
who marriages are

On a summer break
Do not read your law books
It is a chance for you
To the see the moon
In Boracay beach

Significance, winter, November, unfold, union, bay, seemly, sky

Significance, winter, November, unfold, union, bay, seemly, sky

Winter grey has set in
And its November 7th
The skies are too light to early
They are merely and extension of this grey
Upon my rising
The bay is grey the sky and its meeting are one
They are a union
Announcing
Significance
A statement of fullness
It is the linger of these many long months
As they unfold
First fall
Honoring us with its ways of
Offering difference, warm to cold days
Rain
Ice
