Perfect Day A feast of sumptious food lay ready rainbow of salad and mixed pepper rice Cherries in kirsh, summer fruit kebabs. Scent of raspberry and strawberry ice. tables of goodies to tempt the taste-buds Creamy dressings and barbeque sauce Honey glazed ham and peppered steaks Sweet fleshy tomatoes on iceberg and cos A golden scotch and an auburn brandy Sparkling white wine , full bodied red . Waiting on ice and a bucket of water Next to the dozen crates by the shed. Five picnic tables and twenty chairs Were dotted around the daisied lawn The garden swing creaked in the breeze Birds chirped in the thicket of blackthorn. Two grey squirrels streaked up a tree showering ripe apples like heavy rain The fat family cat perked up a little Arched her back, plopped down again. Charcoal and smoke filled the air The animals vanished from sight The garden a palace for partying, an avenue of lanterns jewel bright Then all at once the mood was gone A white bolt of fire scratched the sky a mighty down-pour spilled from above Thunder-claps drowned out my cry My garden party became a lake, The barbeque hissed and died I watched the apples begin to float A barbeque in Britain? Suicide ! |

Ah life's like that sometimes. Rain clouds in Britain and in Washington State wait for no barbecue. Love, Joyce |

junemac: It was making my mouth water reading your menu and the setting! Not the first time a downpour has spoiled a festive event! |
