Picnic Days Oh, sing a song of happy days, Of skies all clear and blue. Oh, sing of children's marching feet, As they pass gaily down the street. For picnic day is here again. Fair Kennard's heart beats high, On her boys and girls she looks with pride As into the busses they climb for a ride. The band starts playing a jolly tune, The children clap and shout, The caravan slowly moves away- Hurrah! We're off on our picnic day l Oh, sing a song of picnic days, And baskets filled with goodies, Of Ferris wheel and merry-go-round: Of scoota boats and rolicking sounds. When day is done and shadows fall, Our foot-steps homeward turning. With weary feet but a happy heart, From the Highlands we'll depart. -Corinne Thomas. 10
