Jane Tomlin - Summer

Summer sun heats the sunbathing rabbits
Animals have such strange habits.

Trees flourish their new leaves
The wind is now a cooling breeze.

The heat causes bush fires
Think of the creatures, think of their lives.

The occasional shower cools the inferno
Alas, too late, they had to go.
