It was a picnic full of fun, <br />With the noonday sun, <br />Beaming so bright, <br />And oh what sight. <br />We played baseball, jacks, <br />Hopscotch and jumped rope. <br />We laughed and we ran, <br />Playing tag, you're it. <br />We stopped long enough for a bite, <br />Then we started all over again, <br />There was ring toss, <br />And guessing games, <br />There was chasing butterflies, <br />While the boys chased frogs, <br />There was such laughter and glee, <br />That all eight of us be, <br />Having fun in the park, <br />Until it got dark, <br />Then home we went, <br />As our laughter we sent, <br />Into the the air, <br />On that day so fair. <br /> <br />Copyright 2005 by Barbara Lynn Terry<br /><br />Barbara Lynn Terry<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/picnic/
