Picnics!

1. A PICNIC is relaxing 

and is such a pleasant thing.

There seems to be no end 

to all the joys that it can bring.

Thinking of a charming spot 

where nature dwells in peace,

with creeks or ponds enhanced with flowers, 

can make our worries cease.

2. Planning a delicious MEAL 

is so enticing too.

The list of foods unsuitable 

is really very few.

Over time there have been picnics 

ranging from small treats

to very grand and elegant displays,

or royal feasts.

3. It’s so delightful sitting  

on a blanket in the shade,

happily enjoying sandwiches,

and cakes you’ve made,

or at a picnic table eating

in a lovely PARK,

with children swinging, 

hearing an occasional dog bark.

4. A BARBECUE is always fun 

with various foods to eat,

like hot dogs, hamburgers and steaks, 

or any favorite meat.

Tasty homemade side dishes 

complete the meal it seems,

with fresh potato salad, 

cakes and cookies, or baked beans.

5. If you have some extra time, 

it’s nice to bring a book

to read next to a creek or pond 

that flowers overlook.

A picnic is refreshing, 

and a healing thing to plan,

whether at a park, backyard, 

or beach upon the sand. 
A picnic table by the LAKESIDE
is my favorite spot,
when the weather's pleasant, 
neither cold nor very hot. 
With your friends or family, 

choose a date that you can meet.

Enjoy a lovely picnic,

so your summer is complete!
