It's Summer in New England - Don't Blink

'though it's late arriving to New England, summer's here.

I just played a round of golf - my first time out this year.*

Now I'm heading to the beach for G&Ts, with lime.

I might have a lobster roll...  The taste of summer-time.

Other states might think that it's been summer for a while.

Although they're aware that winters here can be a trial,

That our springs are not the time for turning off the heater,

They don't know that those things make our summers that much sweeter.

*Please don't ask about the game of golf that I just played...

I don't want to talk about the bogies that I made.
