The summer sun is back again,
as the desert starts to swelter.
Its so hot the bugs all hide,
and animals hunt for shelter.
Plants dry up and blow away,
and streams just seem to fade.
Some times it gets so hot,
its over 100 in the shade.
Tar bubbles up from the road,
as the sun brings it to boil.
Dirt dries out and turns to sand,
with huge cracks in the soil.
There's no rain in sight for now,
as the sun dries up the clouds.
People flock towards the lakes,
seems they draw the biggest crowds.
Cowboy hats with wide brims,
are worn by lots of folks.
The sun beating down all day,
can be the cause of many strokes.
Even though the desert is pretty,
it can become a deadly trap.
Every year you hear a tail,
someone died while taking a nap.
The desert is no place to play,
when you are not prepared.
The sun has no mercy,
as no one will be spared.
