Oh, what a beautiful day for the picnic lunch.
Some would prefer not to eat breakfast but brunch.
The weather is perfect and calm for a stroll in the park.
Let's gather the food for our family and put our stuff out to mark.
We had better get activities together before those kids tire and crunch.

Oh, what an ideal location for the picnic and games.
Imagine the children bowling in those fantastic lanes.

There is a good table with not much sun where we can see the sights.
Let's lay the tablecloth out over there before the kids want their kites.
Can't we rest a bit before the kids come and we do everthing and go insane.

Oh, what a display of food for this day in the park event.
Before the sun does get too high we need to eat under that big tent.
Fried chicken, bologna and cheese sandwiches, deviled eggs and tea.
Let's eat and then we can discover what there is next and flee.
What a breathtaking lake! Get your cameras! We want to explore where those kites went.

Oh, what a discovery! Ants, ants, ants! Here they come in droves.
Ouch, no! You would think they would spray before those pests bite your toes.
The cake, cookies and chips are ruin, now!
Let's remember this place and those pests with such power!
Where are those insects going? Look down those rows!
