Summer Diary Page Poem by Douglas Scotney

I don't like the sun when it's hot,
don't like hot weather.

Now I've netted the plum
the bugger-bird eyes the unnettable vine.

There is plenty of grape for it and me;
beside, I have the aam panna recipe.

We don't get raw mango here; what the heck,
I'll use raw grape; pick before the peck.

I call aam panna Kumarmani,
after the recipe provider-poet.

GKA, Great Kool Aid, I say otherwise -
they say it counters heat rise.
