Picnic-time

又到了六月,在我的灵魂深处,我感到满心的喜悦,这种喜悦一定会在每年的这个时候降临到每个小男孩身上;因为,每年六月,人们都可以在野餐的主日学校里看到,在那里,“汹涌的洪水后面的田野都披上了绿衣”;在那里,小女孩被蜘蛛、虫子和蚂蚁咬死,小男孩在去开会的裤子上弄脏了草渍。又到六月了,有这么多的快乐是我的——有个野餐,我要去参加!有一年我加入了浸信会,天哪!雨下得多大啊!(但爷爷说,“洗礼”就是这么解释的。)有一次我加入了“双人会”,玩得很开心——但是所有野餐的老大是长老会!他们有那么多布丁、沙利德、三明治和馅饼,一个人真希望他的肚子像他的眼睛一样饿!哦,是的,长老会给你的食物太好吃了,他们野餐的时候,我一定会参加的! But at this time the Methodists have special claims on me, For they're goin' to give a picnic on the 21st, D. V.; Why should a liberal universalist like me object To share the joys of fellowship with every friendly sect? However het'rodox their articles of faith elsewise may be, Their doctrine of fried chick'n is a savin' grace to me! So on the 21st of June, the weather bein' fine, They're goin' to give a picnic, and I'm goin' to jine!
