If the rain spoils our picnic, but saves a farmer's crop, who are we to say it shouldn't rain?

In Fervent Praise Of Picnics

Picnics is fun 'at's purty hard to beat.
I purt'-nigh ruther go to them than _eat_.
I purt'-nigh ruther go to them than go
With our Char_lot_ty to the Trick-Dog Show.

I'm into all that sappy stuff - a surprise picnic, nice dinner, or traveling. I'm kind of an old romantic.

A Summer Picnic

an early summer's day
we drove along on a gravel road
far back into the country
to enjoy a picnic
while snapping a few pictures
wildflowers, buttercups and dandelions
then a lone horse by a fence
farther on a field of jersey cows
by a red barn, with an amazing blue sky
then we arrive at our favourite spot
we stop by the old pond
to enjoy our picnic with a show
so enchanting the peacocks dance
for the white queen with blue eyes

Kissing a man with a beard is a lot like going to a picnic. You don't mind going through a little bush to get there!

Home

we have Convents, Churches, and Clubs...
Convents for the closed hearts, Churches for the open hearts and, Clubs for the lost hearts.

We have streets, sties, and stairs...
Streets for the vagabond, sties for the prodigal, stairs for the wanderer.

We have Heavens, Hades, and Halls...
Heavens for the saints, Hades for the evil and Halls for the living

We have Pains, Pleasures, and Picnics...
Pains for the unlucky, pleasures for the well placed and picnics for the tender hearts

We have Love, Lust, and Leisure...
Love for the immortal, Lust for the simple and Leisure for the mortal.

So don't weep sweet heart...You surely belong. The doors will open and you will rest a night;
not in the cave of sweet dreams but on the paths of bitter but interesting realities.

And, you'll be home. Home, in the heights of joy, home in the sea of trouble...home at last.

The perfect date for me would be staying at home, making a big picnic in bed, eating Wotsits and cookies while watching cable TV.

To My Bestest Readers

For my bestest readers
know that I see your hand
feel your heart
know who you are
and offer you
my best heart
and midnight picnics
and tables
pure with
both sweets and sufferings.
I know you are there
and know
I am here for you too.

Angels and Innocence

Angels and innocence,
Sweet and sincere.
Purity, beautiful,
Love from a child.

Christmas and picnics,
Running on grass.
Laughter and smiles,
giggling with joy.

Sunshine and cuddles,
Snuggles asleep.
Angels and innocence,
So perfectly sweet.

One of the nice things about the Senior Tour is that we can take a cart and cooler. If your game is not going well, you can always have a picnic.

Fourth

expectation's hope rising, pulsing
as you bring the warmth and joy
that only a bright summer day
presents on a picnic blanket spread
filled with goodies and laughter
neatly packed away in a picnic basket

expectation's hope realising
as you take my hand in yours
thru the threshold of our home
prancing into the breeze and light
filled with memories and plans
lovingly packed for a rainy morn

expectation's hope resucitating
as your soothing breath caresses
taking my longings into belonging
perfecting inner transformation
filled with songs and dreams
movements in blissful harmony

Cricket needs brightening up a bit. My solution is to let the players drink at the beginning of the game, not after. It always works in our picnic matches.

Why Don't You Just Bring The Pictures

There is something inappropriate,
About that dress you have chosen to wear.

'Why because it is white? '
No!
Because it has a veil.

'Some of your family members missed the wedding.
I just want to show them how I looked.'

I understand.
You understand.
I 'think'.
But
Will they understand?
At a family cookout?
On a beach?
With most of us playing volleyball?

I think they might find you,

Skill without imagination is craftsmanship and gives us many useful objects such as wickerwork picnic baskets. Imagination without skill gives us modern art.

And Left Them

each a partial metaphor....
glad....with a gentleness of eye.
...truer in misalliance
than those
whose utter faith in statuary beneficence
had birthed a mist of quills, cold spells and patchwork picnics....
.they ambled, lanky and quietly astute, gathering wheels......

I suppose I would still prefer to sit under a tree with a picnic basket rather than under a gas pump, but signs and comic strips are interesting as subject matter.

Happy Married Life

High salaried income,
Deciding factor,
Happy married life.

Month-end dinner
Dining in posh restaurant,
Happy married life.

Long week end,
Joyful picnic,
Happy married life.

Nursery Rhyme for Hitler

Sing a song of Hitler
(Unless you'd rather die) ,
Five-and-twenty Nazis
Baked in a pie;

When the pie was opened
There was an awful smell,
Just another picnic
On the way to Hell.
