Ugggg, June Gloom
Sunny Summers
are for silly suckers,
out-of-touch optimists,
and all-day-long day dreamers.
In California,
Summer starts
when it wants to;
and it wants to start
in July.
Out-of-towners,
from fly-over states
and the East Coast
come out here in June
looking for sunny rays,
but all they get are
cold, cold glares from the locals.
Put your pasty thighs away
and dig into
