About the Poem
A whimsical poem from the upcoming book, "The Prince of Nonsense" due out next year, this poem is in the tradition of "Peter Piper Picked A Pepper. " It plays around with the "P" sound & is a fun tongue twister for kids of all ages. In the tradition of Dr. Seuss & my recently departed idol Mr. Shell Silverstein.

| Penny the Peppermint Poodle And Perry the Purple Peacock, Walked with a pair of parasols To play in the park down the block. They packed a picnic with a peach A pear, a prune and a pickle. There was a piece of pie for each And a piece of pumpernickel. Their pink pal Pete the Parakeet Prepared pizza and plum strudel, For Perry the Purple Peacock And Penny the Peppermint Poodle. |

Thank you for "Picnic". Brings back lots of memories of tongue twisters. Here in Ontario, Canada, tomorrow we will be celebrating Canada Day with a Family BBQ. I'm taking "Picnic" with me as a tongue-twister for my grand kids.
