Summer's near - it's picnic time,
But spring has been "a strain".
The weather man has let us down.
We just keep having RAIN!
A ray of sunshine sure would help
To brighten up the day
So we might barbecue a steak
Or maybe play croquet.
I want to roast a marshmallow.
I'm ready for some chips,
Potato salad and baked beans
And vegetables with dips!
Watermelon would be good
And lemonade for all.
But I guess we'll have to wait
Until we're past spring's "squall"!
