1) Crowded Beaches
Nowhere,
no where,
no where,
To put my towel down
2) Hot Pavement
scalding,
burns and
little blisters
scatter my feet.
Why can't I be barefoot for once?
3) Mosquitos
(itch)
Stop!
(itch)
Stop!
Ugh … Leave me alone
4) Sand in My Books
You know library books?
With the plastic covers?
Well, I
shake
shake
shake.
But the sand is still there.
