Chelsea - Heat

In the summer we strive to escape the heat

We flock to the holiday ornament shop

Cool and refreshing

Escape the heat

Down on the street

We eat and eat

Ice cold snowballs

From Hansen’s to Plum street

Escape the heat

Down by the fly

Mississippi by and by

Round and round

Cool and calm

Escape the heat

Chelsea, age 15
