Midday Picnic (The Play)

The setting

Green grass on sunny day
The area by the lake
Trees surrounding from all view
For there my love, to take

The props

Blanket meticulously placed
Basket filled with fare
Wine with two glasses
Brie and camembert
Crackers and some caviar
Strawberries, just so red
Radio to set the mood
We will be well fed

The story

She and I walked hand in hand
With sun upon our way
Smiling in the gentle breeze
Planning for our day
With feet to take us walking
Our hearts had guided the way
We then laid down our blanket
With thoughts to eat and play
Sprayed out, the food before us
With intentions there to eat
The tastiest of the tastiest
A veritable lover’s treat
I fed her, oh, seductively
As music played along
I sang for her, the words I knew
From one of her favorite songs
We toasted us, we sipped away
We kissed…the time was right
We cast aside the food we brought
Made love in broad daylight

The Ending

Yet, I am a gentleman
So now to you I say
I can give no more details
Of our picnic this day
