Poetry: Picnics

Pack the picnic basket
With all the foods we love.
Take along a frisbee,
a baseball, bat and glove.

Bring a blanket to sit upon,
bug spray and sunscreen, too.
Get the kids into the car
With the dog, and me and you.

We are finally on our way
to have a day of fun.
Let's try to find the perfect spot
to frolic in the sun.

A grassy knoll and shade tree
beside a lazy creek;
pull over, this looks just right
for a picnic quite unique.

Setting up the lavish feast,
our joy we can't contain.
Our happiness is dampened
When it begins to rain.
