Summer is here

The uncertain winter has disappeared
now navels can advertise without fear,
their trim un-goosepimpled youth
we will be reminded of melanoma
Spring is with us, summer is near

It is only __ shopping days until Christmas
when conscience and gratitude will be for sale
meanwhile, we will have long mild nights
sipping cold beer, fucking on playing fields
heated lust more sensibly out in the open
there will be more outside entertainments,
more flexing of biceps, more wriggling hips
but less excuses to hide beer bellies
not so many reasons to avoid ice-cream

perspiration is expected to increase
necklines and defences will probably be lowered
hormonal imbalances should remain steady
there will family brawls over turkey
splintered limbs will litter the road
and mangled car wrecks will highlight the revelry
