A summer in Maine truly rocks with fun-filled days and moonlight walks
So much to see, so much to do, allow me please to list a few
Quaint antique stores along Route 1 that many find rewarding fun
Highways free from crass billboards, hardwood neatly stacked in cords
Spotting moose on timber lines, the majesty of Bowdoin’s pines
Fort Knox, Goose Rocks, and Thunder Hole, all can provide a pleasant stroll
For scenic views and coastal charm wander the grounds of Wolfe’s Neck Farm
Camden Harbor surrounded by hills, the logging past of Leonard’s Mills
Many feel that a treasure trove is Ogunquit and Perkins Cove
Machias with its blueberry yield, boys of summer at Hadlock Field
A whale-watch cruise in search of schools, Thomas Point’s well known tidal pools
The Desert of Maine, the York Zoo, the Downeast Gardens of Asticou
A sun-splashed day, a starry night, the welcome of Portland Head Light
Hunting crabs on a low-tide shore, finding bargains at an outlet store.
Moxie, Ployes, Morse’s sauerkraut, wading in a brook to catch a trout
Old Ports, old forts, countless clam shacks, Boothbay, L-A, harness race tracks
Caribou, Castine, LL Bean, a sunset cruise on The Songo Queen
Sugarloaf, Katahdin, Isle Au Haut, the Windsor Fair for its fried dough
Clams and lobsters, nature’s bounty; corn and potatoes from The County
Art shows, festivals, old-home days, museums, concerts, summer-stock plays
A rocky coast carved by nature’s force, a pleasing round on a great golf course
If it’s exercise that you’re seekin’ why not try the Beach to Beacon?
Sitting at the beach rooting for the Sox, summer in Maine truly rocks
So much to do, so much to see, summer in Maine - the way life should be!
