Picnics are a great escape
On a warm summer day
Butterflies play
Ants stay away
Food to cook and games to play
It's a wonder we don't do this everyday!
Picnics are lots of fun
And enjoy the warmth of the sun
The cool breeze blowing,
Your brow, but close your eyes and feel
The contrast of the warmth and cool
Like dappled shadows flitting across the ground

Sitting in the grass
Peeking in the basket to see
What the cook packed for me
Yummy chicken n iced tea
Hamburgers and hot dogs for all the world to see
Makes me hungry thinking of it all
Cookies and cakes and muffins too
Blueberry muffins, with lots of blueberries, all of them oh ever so blue
So very much to eat!, which to choose
A thermos of ice tea will set well with me
Then it will be time for a snooze
How great to be in such relaxed communication with nature.
