Last Day Preschool Picnic

At the last day preschool picnic
There were blankets on the grass
Which the tots ran over freely
If that way they had to pass.

There were pastel-frosted cupcakes
(Health food banished for a day)
And the slides and sandbox filled with kids
In joyous outdoor play.

But the draw for my two grandkids
Was the singer with guitar
For when music's in the air, I know
They won't be going far.

So as Henry spun and boogied
And his sister bopped along,
I was grooving like a back-up singer,
Knowing every song.

Three days back I was in Venice
And the vistas were entrancing
But there's nothing that looks better
Than my grandkids when they're dancing.
