Lovely Day For A Picnic
Driving to a customer's...wishing I had more time to stop and witness tho' I've witnessed the splendor of vultures dining in my front yard! 😋 Really remarkable to watch! Probably needs to be re-sung, but what I got for now. Any feedback is welcome, thank you!

LOVELY DAY FOR A PICNIC
[Chorus 1]
What a lovely day
Lovely day for a picnic
We got vultures dining on what’s left of an armadillo
Yes, it’s a lovely day
A lovely day for a picnic
We got vultures dining on what’s left of an armadillo
V1
And they’re taking turns
Polite to one another
They’re ‘a taking turns
Flipping that carcass over
Now big ol’dog comes along
Vultures gettin’ nervous
But they’re standing their ground
Scavenging is their purpose, yeah
[Chorus 1]
What a lovely day
Lovely day for a picnic
We got vultures dining on what’s left of an armadillo
Yes, it’s a lovely day
A lovely day for a picnic
We got vultures dining on what’s left of an armadillo
V2
Now, three hours later
In the stickiest of sun
Them vultures still goin’ at it
Gettin’ the job done
Reminds of the government
Swoopin’ in for the kill
Everything the government does
Against the people’s will
[Chorus 2]
What a lovely day
Lovely day for a picnic
We got vultures dining on what’s left of America
Yes, it’s a lovely day
A lovely day for a picnic
We got vultures dining on what’s left of America
[Music]
[Chorus 3]
What a lovely day
Lovely day for a picnic
We got vultures dining on what’s left of an armadillo
Yes, it’s a lovely day
A lovely day for a picnic
Oh, we got vultures dining on what’s left of America, oooh-oooh, oooh-oooh

Calling it as you see it! This one doesn't appeal to me personally, but it's perfectly well constructed as a song.

Renee, whenever you want to take a jab at the govt, I'm hear/here for it. :-). I miss @sidshovel with his jabs on the "Orange Man." hahahaha.

@TammyB As well as Sid's, Orange Man jabs, I wrote a dittie recently, Orange Man. Sort of waiting for Sid to come back on the scene before I share it and it needs more work. Yeah, the government sucks so why not have FUN with it?! 😍
