Our picnic food draws pesky flies. We each grab a swatter and rise to wipe out those devils, but those crafty rebels escape. Then we don’t feel so wise.

Those "crafty rebels" at times seem to be able to outsmart us! Such a fun summer haiku! Here's to eating outdoors without their intrusions! Best wishes for the contest! Blessings!
