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