It figures!
The last warm days of the year.
I’m thinking
One more chance for a clear
Day in the pool.
I slaved!
All week to get the water right.
Ran the filter
Every single night.
Stupid mechanical pump.
It’s broke!
The noise it made gave me the chills.
It was hot.
And not with passionate thrills
Darn, Darn, Darn
It’s sad!
What will I do with my time.
Labor Day Weekend.
The water will turn to slime.
I have to close it up.
Goodbye!
Got me through the hottest summer.
Swimming made me happy.
Our parting is a real bummer.
Until next year…

That is a bummer, Sorry to hear.
Such a bummer! Thanks 🙂
Reblogged this on 20 Lines or Less.
So sorry to hear that ….enjoy the weekend anyway….Diane
Thanks, Diane. You enjoy the weekend, too! 🙂
Ah shucks! I feel your pain. I missed on out swimming most of August due to the numerous storms- dust, monsoon and such – that we had all month. Luckily it is still hot enough over here to get in the water until mid-October. I’ve been prepping the pool all week for my holiday BBQ.
Well, start the countdown to next year’s pool opening!
Enjoy your BBQ! I will start the countdown now for a new pool season next year. Happy Labor Day Weekend! 😉
so sorry to hear that. 🙂
It stinks, but what can I do. At least it is a 3-day weekend, right? 😉
I remember those days as a child. I grew up in the beautiful State of Maine. We had extremely short Summer’s. I can totally relate. Guess you will have to get the sprinkler out!!!
Yep, it is the Slip and Slide for me! LOL 😉
Nice! Love the Slip and Slide too!
🙂
Bummer, the weather is still warm to enjoy….perhaps a sign fall is approaching. Enjoy the 3 day weekend 🙂
Yes, Ingrid, it is a bummer, but I am happy about the 3-day weekend. I guess I will just have to go shopping or something. LOL! Happy Labor Day! 😉
Did I hear shopping? Be right over….lol
Ha! I would love some shopping company, Ingrid. I am trying to find a dress for my son’s upcoming wedding. I am not having much luck. 🙂
Oh no…sorry about that. You know if it’s not one thing it’s another sometimes. 🙂
Yes, that is the way of things. Oh well, I will just have to find something else that is relaxing to do. 🙂
