Dem boys know dat summer was de time when de sun deh out in all its glory and when people don’t have to worry bout snow. Dat is de time when school close.
If summer is a weather condition then Guyana got summer whole year. Old Year’s party can be summer party. De temperature is de same whole year unless you go and sit on de seawalls. It mean dat de people who get li’l cold breeze pon de seawall got a right to talk ‘bout winter lime and winter parties whenever dem have parties pon de seawall.
