Analysis of Summer



Summer's like a bouncy ball,
jumping through a hoop.
Summer's like a piece of string,
tying in a loop.

Summer's like the setting sun,
Peeking through the hills.
Summer's like an angry banker,
calling to pay your bills.

Summer's like a restless puppy,
jumping up and down.
Summer's always happy,
so it never has a frown.
