thanks to those who have served so we can have picnics





Picnics

by Marchette Chute

Sunshine and wieners and pickles and ham,
Not enough salt for the eggs,
Marshmallows cooked on the end of a stick,
Ants crawling over our legs.

Candy and cookies and peanuts and cake,
Finding the frosting has run,
All of us knowing we've eaten too much---
Picnics are certainly fun.

Hope you day is wonderful as we remember those who have fought for our freedom!

  3. Love picnics! Why is eating outside on a blanet so much more fun than at a table?!
