Summer games




December is here
Summer has followed 
Hot, relentless, scorching
Early mornings are tolerable
Before hiding inside 
The rest of the day
Hours are passing
Temperature keeps rising
Even evening brings no respite
Churning our minds to dust
Water is on our mind

When the cat is in the bedroom
The dog in the laundry
What could go wrong?

When the dog wants to play
The cat runs away?
Wrong answer mate
The dog goes in pursuit

Only to be stopped by
A clawed swipe to its head
Arched back and fluffy tail
The cat stands its ground
Dog runs in circles around cat
Cat runs up the tree
Dog barks WTF?
Cat goes up yours 
Can't you follow?
These are summer games
Want to play?
