Picnic Pests

We are at the park for a picnic
one summer day, it doesn’t take
long until the insects find us.
Wanting to check out our cake
and buzz over the fried chicken
then a drinking cup filled with fizz.
You can almost hear a bee say,
Oh this looks good or maybe this.

You can try swatting at them,
but do it, oh so carefully,
or you might get stung and
end your eating quickly.

If you share your food
or just ignore the pest
you’ll be happier I’m sure.
Just let him be YOUR guest.
Remember bees are helpful,
making honey, causing flowers
to bloom and fruit to grow.
Living outside, bees are real picnickers.
