Fun With Gus

Keeping Cool

Gus the fungus asks how you like to keep cool
The text. Hello! My name is Gus? How come you look so cool? When the sand makes you dance And starts to melt your shoes
What do you do to keep your cool? Do you put on lots of sunscreen? And sit beneath a tree in the shade? With a glass of cold lemonade? Or are there games you like to play? On the beach full of sand Or in the salty sea Or could it be that you’re a fan?
Of soaking toes in rubber ponds Or getting wet in a swimming pool? Or when it’s really, really way too hot Do you simply choose to snooze?
