I like summertime poetry

Especially poems that talk about origami thoracotomies—they're like a shortcut to my heart.

Random Quote
(Complete listing)…it is wrong for a man to say that he is certain of the objective truth of any proposition unless he can produce evidence which logically justifies that certainty. This is what Agnosticism asserts; and, in my opinion, it is all that is essential to Agnosticism. That which Agnostics deny and repudiate, as immoral, is the contrary doctrine, that there are propositions which men ought to believe, without logically satisfactory evidence; and that reprobation ought to attach to the profession of disbelief in such inadequately supported propositions.
[Thomas Huxley]

Well, the reference to cerulean blue was a shortcut to MY heart. Good ol' Vancouver episodes...

Reminds me of Gilbert White's "The Naturalist's Summer-Evening Walk," in which the balmy weather makes everyone else "happy," "sooth'd" or full of "glee" or "relief;" but:
Not so the museful sage: -- abroad he walks
Contemplative, if haply he may find
What cause controuls the tempest's rage, or whence
Amidst the savage season winter smiles.
For days, for weeks, prevails the placid calm.
At length some drops prelude a change: the sun
With ray refracted bursts the parting gloom;
When all the chequer'd sky is one bright glare.
Mutters the wind at eve: th' horizon round
With angry aspect scowls: down rush the showers,
And float the delug'd paths, and miry fields.

Summertime and the livin' is easy. Ken Ham and a T. Rex eating cocounuts by the ocean's breeze.

I'm not one for poetry, but I enjoyed the previous entry, "Kutcher Shocks Nation, Reveals Bush Administration As 'Elaborate Hoax'."
