Summer is here; hot air and seamless skies…            
Little kids run around the yard: carefree kids.

Yellow in color, drenched with water, I lay waiting...         
Soaking up water in the blissful sun, I wait

Kids race to see who will go first                                    
Excited, scared, daring to dive in: head first

Get ready… get set… and they’re off!                        
Slipping and Sliding, enjoying summer time fun     

I am a Slip and Slide                                                  
Your friend on a hot day

I am happy and silly.                                              
Slipping and Sliding through life.
