Oooo! Love it, Sundae!

and here is a summer song from the Bard:

Tempest, Act V, Scene I [Where the bee sucks, there suck I]
by William Shakespeare

Ariel sings

Where the bee sucks, there suck I:
In a cowslip's bell I lie;
There I couch when owls do cry.
On the bat's back I do fly
After summer merrily.
Merrily, merrily shall I live now
Under the blossom that hangs on the bough.
