The BirdWatchers Summer BBQ - 6/17/09













Brought out the day
No curds, but way
For rain to sprinkle -
Yet people did mingle
Sipping ruby red Syrah,
And none did guffaw
At the berry taste sublime
Of this jammy-fresh wine!

Then rub-a-dub-dub
Frozen chicken to rub
Was meager pickin's
'Til the finger lickin',
For an hour of wait
Did ravenous make
The loyal crowd
A-drinkin'!

Then thunderous noise
A threat did voice
As people took cover
Round tables and under
Umbrellas in tow!
Intent did they grow
On waiting outside
For the Sun to arrive!

And as it shone then poured once more
Wafted the sound of Celtic score;
Musicians playing from within
Lured the crowd & calmed the din.
A party had we still
As the music did fill
Our ears
As food & drink our bellies!

Though plans we did make
Were meant to break
Such fate made glad
For great company we had...
And with full feeling left
To the night the rest
As we dined and made merry
At the parking lot of Lone Canary!


**A special thanks to everyone who braved the trials of the day - and stayed!
