THE PICNIC

THE PICNIC

Rain, sun
And wind
One day
Went
On a
Picnic...

They had found
An open
Space
To chsse 
Each other
In play!

Long hours
Passed
With 
The three
In a game...

Then
They were
Hungry
And sat
To eat!

From the
Picnic basket
Rain brought
Out 
Devious
Edibles!

As long whiles
Had gone
By
The food 
Was cold...

Not eatable!

I'll warm it
Said the
Sun
As he blew
A hot breath
On the food.. 

Soon it was
Boiling
And sizzling
Mouthwatering!

The three
Ate
With gusto
Joking and
Singing
With every
Mouthful...

As hours
Slipped by
It wss time
To return home
But what of
The dirty
Dishes?

You wash
Said the
Sun
To the 
Rain
And she agreed
Only if
He would
Along with
The wind
Dry 
The things...

Done they
Both
Spoke in unison.

So the day
Ended
For once
Amicably
Between
These three
Companions!
