Last summer

Have you ever smelt summer?
sure you have
we came home from shopping in
the burning heat
just wanting a swim
remember the smell of sun screen
when your mum slopped it all over you
that was summer

remember coming home from a
long day out listening to your tummy
grumble waiting for something to eat
remember the smell of burning
sausages after
your dad tried to cook sausages on
the BBQ
that was summer

Remember hopping out of
the hot car onto the burning
sand racing to the water
remember the stinky smell of sea
salt at the beach
that was summer

remember coming inside on
Christmas day playing with
friends and family
remember the smell of
pavlova that just came
out of the oven
that was summer
