Haiku Friday: Summer Music
It seems like every summer there is a song that I pick up on the radio, by the pool, everywhere. This has been true back to the days when my car had only an AM radio. Still, a song from some summer back there will trigger memories.
So haiku about summer. It doesn't have to be about a song. I'm easy. Just don't haiku about health care policy. Ah, whatever-- if you want to haiku about health care policy, let your freak flag fly, man.
Maybe I've been spending too much time in Austin.
Anyways, here is mine:
Girl in the next car
Is singing; open the window:
"C'mon get higher..."
Now it is your turn:

First summer back in
our house in two years! Having
fun just being here.
Learning to can and
preserve. Take Spencer to swim
class. He's improving.
I lost a friend this
week. She was not a true friend.
So what did I lose?
Still, it is a shock
to find out the truth. Moving on.
Hot Child in the City
was a summer song
I recall. Dumb song. Lip Gloss,
big hair, boys, that song,
Dr. Scholls, park passes,
Speedo, bomb pops, riding bikes.
I was a teen age dork.

Also I NEVER
got tan enough. No matter
what I tried. Still pale.
Lie in sun for hours,
lotions, water, tried vermouth
once. Pale as a dead fish.

Ooooh that smell!
Can't you smell that smell? (guitar)
The smell that surrounds you?

I will now haiku the lyrics to the only song that any sort of radio seems to be playing. It's a an awful song, really:
Gives you H***, gives you
H***, gives you H***, gives you H***,
gives you H***, H***, H***
(Lyrics from the world's most profane song ever approved for mainstream radio, "Gives You H***".)
Seriously, those are the lyrics. Not kidding.
Gives you H***, gives you
H***, gives you H***, gives you H***,
gives you H***, H***, H***
