PICNICS (Poem #210)

Picnics are always fun in the usual way,
When we'd take a lunch to the park to play.

Or a picnic by a river where we could row a boat
On a warm sunny day when we didn't need a coat.

 A picnic at the grandparents was always a delight
When we were sure to have our water balloon fight.

 Sometimes in the winter under the fireplace glow
We'd roast hot dogs and marshmallows just so.

 A picnic in our screen room with the grill outside
Gives us a place from the bugs in which to hide.

 A church picnic is fun where you gather at a spot
And really get to know each other a lot.

 On the 4th of July to a picnic your town may give way
Ending at night with a big fireworks display.

 At a company picnic your employer may have fare
And you can play games or just relax in a chair.

 Picnics are fun, no mater where
So get yourself up and get on out there.
