There's food fit for a king
For their family of ten
Bugs included free of charge
Ready for a free-for-all
The ten people won't be
The only ones there
The ants form a procession
There's food fit for a king
Wasps they will dive
Into people's food
To take sweet treats
For their family of ten
Mosquitos buzz loudly
And bite you alive
A picnic's no fun
Bugs included free of charge
Black flies are flying
Swirling around
Now the picnic's complete
Ready for a free-for-all
