The NHL season is now over and done
Once again the “Florida Panthers” have won
One win was close but the other three they blew “Edmonton” out
The last game proved they were champions in case there was any doubt
Now we have to wait until October to see another game
No glory for “Canada”, it really is a shame
Summer is officially here and the weather has been nice
It is only fitting that these athletes get a break from the ice
The draft is scheduled for this weekend coming up
Each team hoping they’ll get closer to winning the “Stanley Cup”
Already there are so many trade rumours leading up to this event
The upcoming months filled listening to their fans discontent
We can now put this sport in the rear view mirror
Time goes so fast, enjoy the summer while it’s here
We’ve had some storms the last few days but I won’t complain
I wish it would head out west, they could use all this rain
I’m sticking close to home today, the humidex is high
If you venture out to long, you are going to fry
It’s too hot to sit on the front porch for any length at all
Should you stay or should you go? This is your call
Some will be able to handle the heat while others will cower
It all depends on how your body reacts to this solar power
Closer to daybreak will help you accomplish your feat
Best to get up early, this way you can avoid the heat
It’s getting to be a pattern that is happening every year
Who thought that “global warming” would have such an effect up here
With the forests burning starting early in the spring
This phenomenon seems to be an annual thing
Coast to coast these drought areas can burst into flames
This time we have only ourselves to blame
World leaders ignoring “global warming” are making things worse
How much longer will mankind survive if we remain on this course?
The topic that I started with has really gone astray
Instead of carrying on I am going to finish it this way
Next week I will try to narrow the subject down to one
Thanks for reading and now my poem is officially done
