An Ode to Spring and Summer

Sing to the tune of My Favorite Things

The smell of mown grass and burgers on the grill
Light evening rain and sparrows on the window sill
Baseball games going into extra innings
These are a few of my favorite spring and summer things

Fireworks on the fourth and women in bikinis mowing the lawn
Dogs going on walks and seeing the sun rise at dawn
A cool breeze that catches colorful kites on strings
These are a few of my favorite spring and summer things

Bike rides and long walks up and down the trail
Trips to the shore chasing waves and setting sail
Star gazing at night searching for Saturn's rings
These are a few of my favorite spring and summer things

Chorus

When the air cools
When the pipes freeze
When I'm feeling sad
I simply remember my favorite spring and summer things 

And then I don't feel so bad
