River Dance

The chequered rug lay on the ground Hard boiled eggs and tomatoes on Plastic plates. A jug of lemon juice With bees buzzing all around. Sitting by the river breaking bread, With children playing on the grass Dancing round and round in circles, And ducks and swans waiting to be fed. Clouds billowing up in an overcast sky Brings gentle rain falling to the ground That is over before it truly began, And the dog stealing a piece of pie. Buttercups and dandelions carpet the green And pleasant field, and weeping willows Sigh with their leaves kissing the river. The family picnic is a sight to be seen.
