We need a tan

Seeing as our daily highs haven't gotten much above 50 degrees Fahrenheit, we're gunning for summer. As much as we love the gentle sound of rain and the cool, wet breeze as it slips through our windows, we have to admit that we would really love a temperature spike and some hot sun to facilitate the darkening of our pasty white skin. After having lived all our lives in North Carolina, four months of this “cold” thing is getting a bit tiresome, and isn't really doing anything for our complexions.

We wanted to articulate our burning desire (haha, burning) for summer in a haiku, because that's how we best express our deepest feelings.

Rain, on our rooftop.
Cold, wet and dim is no fun:
Shopping calls our name.
