Happy First Day Of Summer!

By John Bashak

All the boys and girls in town will come out to have some fun

They’ll hop, they’ll skip, they’ll walk,

They’ll jump, and maybe even run!

The World will spin around and ‘round, but never ever stop

For on the first day of Summer,

Friendships rise, all the way to the top!

Summer comes once every year, but never stays too long

But when it’s here, nothing at all, can

Possibly go wrong!

So take my advice, and go out and play

For there only comes one, Summer’s Day!

(John Bashak will be a seventh grade student at the Newtown Middle School this coming school year. He wrote this poem on June 20, the first day of summer.)
