Picnic By the Lake
Traveling away from the city
to the countryside
Heading for Strickland Lake
Picnicing by the lake
enjoying a swim
Spending time with family
Grilling out hamburgers
hotdogs and sometimes chicken
Watching people go down
the water slides and
jumping off the high dive
or diving board
Walking along the board walk
As you sit at the picnic table
enjoying your grilled out food
Squirrels start gathering around
looking for food scraps to eat
Sometimes getting up close
and very personal
By mid to late afternoon
you hear rumbles of thunder
That’s your que that the
picnic is over
So you head home
with the best of memories
