If I could bottle the scent of summer
It would start with the smell of the ocean
The saltiness dancing in the early morning air.
If I could bottle the scent of summer
It would be the smell of sunscreen tinged with sand,
A gritty coconut aroma.
If I could bottle the scent of summer
It would be the tantalising smell of pizza
With a whiff of a side of fries.
If I could bottle the scent of summer
It would be smores and ice cream
With a lingering hint of BBQ long since devoured.
