Old Mr. Mackle Hackle

Remembering Summer Days

My summer days as a child could be carefree and wild and fun, but there were days when things slowed down and nothing seemed to be happening. It wasn't quite boredom - more like time was suspended, and we had so much time that we could sit and wait patiently til excitement returned.

Life has picked up so much momentum such then, it's a pleasure to sing this song and remember the feeling of the expansiveness of time.

 

Selling Lemonade

realaudio mp3

There's two kids selling lemonade in the shade
In the shade
Two kids selling lemonade in the shade
Comin' right up, in a paper cup

There's a dog chewin' on a bone all alone
All alone
A dog chewin' on a bone all alone
There's a fly keeps buzzin' by
He's keeping his eye on that buzzin' fly

By the hedge there's a yellow hat, it's Mrs. Platt
Mrs. Platt
She always wears that hat, Mrs. Platt
Snip snip snip, at a steady clip
Her yard's neat, the neatest on the street

It's a lazy summer afternoon, Saturday, the end of June and
Time is moving slow
There's no place I need to go
Time is sweet and slow
