Summer picnics

Family picnic, BBQ, church picnic, company picnic, romantic picnic in the moonlight.

Write me a poem about a picnic, 20 - 60 lines, rhymed or unrhymed as the fancy takes you. Think of grammar and spelling mistakes as you would an ant. It's interesting but you don't really want it at your picnic.

Bon appetit.

    This has been one of those contests where some of those who didn't get a trophy at all could still have been winners. Well done, all of you. I enjoyed reading the entries even though it was difficult to choose among them.
