Sunday morning the girl goes on a picnic with The Brady Bunch
Weekday evenings she goes to The Monkees show
She goes to sea with the little Davy Jones himself
For her, the seaside pines are the Alpha, the first, the beginning of the confusing labyrinths put in her way,
and the endless waterfront is the Omega, the last, the end
of the lateral infinities to be found at destination
The girl has a picnic with The Space Family Robinson at the three o'clock teatime
On the way home she walks in the jungle with Maya the big elephant
Who fought a tiger and then she has a lively supper with the family
She goes on a picnic with Batman learns masochism from Robin then returns
She also swims with Flipper somewhere off the cost of Florida
A week filled with picnics but this girl does not feel busy
