Let's have a picnic said mum to Aunty May,
Too nice to be indoors on such a sunny day,
Gran's coming too, she loves to bake
And has made a nice sponge cake.
They made sandwiches, chicken and ham,
And scones filled with strawberry jam,
A lovely day, we'll take the car to the sea
If the water's warm, paddle then have tea,
We can take garden chairs and cover too,
Then sit, relax, enjoy the view,
If it's hot a shade we will take,
Don't want our skin to burn and bake,
Now the car was packed full as can be,
No room for them or their picnic tea,
Mum said I think it's here we'll stay,
Enjoy our picnic on such a lovely day.
