We went to the vegetarian picnic
and we had a lovely time.
I stood on a slug
which I thought was a bug
cause I needed that particular rhyme.
We ate the mayonnaise
and had tomato sauce.
I had a muffin
did a lot of huffing
and had the same
for the second course.
We drank the perrier water
studiously avoiding the wine.
Yes, we were doing mighty fine.
Someone mentioned the weather
some fool complained about the heat.
I got confused
widely abused
when I mentioned meat
cause I needed that particular rhyme.
