Notes About The Poem

August 18, 2024, placed 3rd in Tania Kitchen's Funny Summer Limerick Contest

*****************************************************************************************

Summer Picnics Interrupted


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!
