Spring Picnic




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.


Finally we are on our way
to have a day of fun,
searching for 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 a lavish feast,
joy we can't contain,
our happiness is dampened
when it begins to rain.

  2. What a great gathering of friends and family! It still looks a little cool as evidenced by those jackets.
