Picnic Basket by Meg Burrows

In my picnic basket I put……

apples and strawberries and cream that I spread on scones and wash with lemonade.

Scotch eggs, salad cream, ham and lettuce that all lay in a nice duvet of bread.

Juice boxes of elderflower and turkish coffee that envelopes my nose.

Chocolate cake with thick buttery icing that serenades my taste buds.

Plates to pile it all on, cutlery to scoop it all up with and a blanket to blubber out on afterwards.

But lets not forget…..

bread for the ducks, slug repellent for the kids and a fly trap for Uncle Gerald.

A bird cage for the rats, a potted plant for melted ice cream and a spanner to throw at the mushrooms that look at me funny.
