A Funny Thing Happened On The Way To The Bar-B-Que
One summery day long ago,
my hubby and I thought we'd go
to barbecue we
accepted with glee
by newlyweds, we got to know.
I said we'd bring baked pork and beans,
a salad of mixed garden greens,
and also we'd take
a chocolate cake
and six-pack of beer, by all means.
Day came in a blink of an eye.
We packed up our picnic supply;
arrived at their house,
just me and my spouse,
the only ones who had come by.
We walked to the back of the yard;
and passed their guard dog with regard.
And they so surprised
to see us, chastised,
"Oh no, you have caught us off guard!"
You see, in their pool, they were found
in 'birthday suits' splashing around.
"The picnic's next week,"
they yelled with a shriek!
Embarrassed, we ran homeward bound!
