Out comes the paddling pool.

Out comes the paddling pool

into the garden, it goes.

The heat wave is on.

The hosepipe to fill it up.

And in the kids go,

laughing and joking

and having a grand

old time.

They also have a couple

of water soaker guns.

Running after each other

and their parents too

soaking them with each

and every trigger pulled.

Grandma is in the corner

sit out the way.

Making sure she does not

get soaking wet.

Chuckling away to herself.

Grandad is at the barbeque

and cooking up a storm with

Dad.

The smell is making

me so dam hungry.

My Mum is talking to a neighbour

across the dividing fence.

The sun is shining and no cloud

are forecasted for the rest of the

weekend ahead.
