So hot and so dry,

Sometimes I wonder why everyone enjoys the heat.

Unbearable, 

Crushing, 

Suffocating!

But I manage, 

and so do all my friends and peers. 

Because summer is a time

For everyone to have a little break from school, 

Or from work.

It's all hard work, you know,

and it never stops. 

I guess I can see why schoolwork is so disliked.

But now let us all enjoy

our happy Californian summer.

Because it'll all become a dream

as soon as school returns.
