My Own Company

I decided to go for a solitary picnic,
But was surrounded by flies and wasps, and ants crawled over me,
So I left them to it and had lunch in a quiet pub.

Thank you for your kind words about Daniel, Jack. The song always makes me cry, but this time I was able to use words from it to express my grief and somehow it makes me feel better. Hope you and Sue had a terrific weekend! Love and blessings, Carolyn

Those insects can really spoil a picnic, Jack. I would have left and joined you in that pub. Carol will get a kick out of this entry! Wishing you success in her contest. Love, Carolyn
