SONGS & POEMS:
Picnic in the Park - sung to “She’ll Be Coming Round the Mountain”
Yes, we’ll all go on
A picnic in the park.
Yes, we’ll all go on
A picnic in the park.
Bring some lunch
And bring a ball.
There will be
Such fun for all!
Yes, we’ll all go on
A picnic in the park.
~ Barbara Paxson
The Picnic Basket
Put salad, soda, and sandwiches in,
Forks and plates and cups.
Our picnic basket is filled to the top.
But I can’t pick it up!
I’ll eat some salad and sandwiches, too,
I’ll drink some soda pop.
Now my basket’s not so full,
And I can pick it up!
~Deborah Zumbar
Ants at a Picnic
Ants, Ants everywhere
Ants on my apple,
Ants on my pear.
Ants at a picnic
Are not so great.
I see five crawling
On my plate!
