Life's no picnic

 

I had a paper napkin here upon my lap

the breeze snatched it clean away

now I sit here like a sap

 

Syrup dripping from my chin

frosting on my nose

little bits of cookie left

with crumbs around my toes

 

Maybe I can sneak away

before they see me leave

failing that – just like before

I’ll simply use my sleeve.

You really take the cake... and leave it all over your shirt. You should have been a basketball player. They are such notoriously messy eaters because they’re always dribbling! Cute poem!!
