Now That the Summer's Here

In slow-motion I'm reborn

I need a week to mow the lawn

I eat dinner with my flip-flops on

Now that the summer's here

With my chores I only flirt

Hung in my hammock reading Kurt

Struggling to remain inert

Now that the summer's here

Now that the summer is here

I laze all day-- my work can wait

At night behave like a firefly

And oscillate with my mate

I can spare some wherewithal

Listening to Ahmad Jamal

"Poinciana" says it all

Now that the summer's here

One thing is crystal clear:

I won't be going anywhere

Except my Adirondack chair

Now that the summer's here
