summertime o joy!

the trees are green the birds are singing
not again, the phone is ringing
hes not here for the hundredth time
damn that kid needs his own phone line

working in the heat all day
my nice clean house, it went away
in the freezer, a nice cold snack
an empty box someone put back

feed us, feed us, they never quit
man u kids are bottomless pits
i just walked in, just give me five
but there's a game soon and you must drive

we beat our video game today
then scatched our butts, and went out to play
did you clean your rooms like i said
we cleaned out your all cabinets instead

my practice shirt, i need it clean
it should be white,but its brown and green
i should have told you yesterday
but cartoons took my attention away

hurry up its time to run
summertime is so much fun
tommorow its my vacation day
but of course, heavy rain is on the way

summertime is so much fun
a nice cheeseburger on a bun
lounging in the sun all day
ya! when i hit the lottery

summertime is really hot
no school for kids i clean alot
but overall i cant complain
oh no, my carpet got a grape juice stain

a sudden shreek makes my ears ring
daddy i just zipped up my ding-a-ling
summertime oh joy oh joy
now i must help the little boy

hahahaha

Critique

yours is the first poem i have read and i say it has merit and humour all rolled into one. A good story and well written too - you must have a kid or run a zoo. no offense intended. truly it moves along at terrific pace and the ending brings us back to our senses. well done!!! d.r.
