Too many video games yet unbeaten,
too many snacks yet uneaten.

Too many parties yet to attend,
not enough relaxing for days on end.

Not enough time spent on a whim,
not enough time to make more Sims.

Too many books yet unread,
Too many conversations yet unsaid.

Too much swimming yet un-swum,
Not enough time spent laying in the sun.

Too much sleep yet un-slept,
I thought of these things, and I wept:

For too fast time flew; too quickly spent
Before I knew it, summer came and went.
