This week’s FWF prompt is a time and place scenario:
You are in the woods and you stumble across a tin box sticking up out of the ground.
You dig it up to find…

Just you and me, we thought!
A walk in the woods
hand in hand
kicking up leaves
like they were sand
Ouch! That hurt!
toes quickly rebound
something metal
buried in the ground
Let’s see! Let’s see!
what’s your pleasure?
we’ll surely share
if a treasure
Carefully lifting
a corner exposed
my favorite lunch box
right under my nose
How did it get here?
this just can’t be
then a rustle
from a nearby tree
We turned
together in time
just as my brother
begin to chime
Gotcha! Gotcha!
but surprise ain’t over
look inside
it’s not stinking clover
Laughter reigned
heartily as can be
peanut butter and jelly
a picnic for us three

[Personal Note: After a day in the hospital with my husband, I had to make this humorous. Enough seriousness for one day. He is on the road to recovery!]

Oh I love this! So cute!!! I used to have a tin lunchbox with the Care Bears on it…back in their first go round 😉
Thank you for writing!!!
So clever, Sharla, and lovely little story…
So sorry to hear about your husband, and hope he continues to recover…Hospital is hard work for you both…
We are due at the pain clinic on Tuesday, and it can’t come fast enough…
Very cute! What a sweet poem!
Hope your husband has recovered by now.
Loved those metal lunch boxes – they made great head-boppers! (jokes)
I love the poem Sharla! Very special. 🙂
Adorable. Love the treasure of surprise. PB& J and a brother.
Wanted it to bring on smiles and perhaps trigger memories! I still love PB&J!
My adult PB&J is chunky PB, raw honey and sliced banana on wheat honey toast.
YUM! I could go for that:>)
This is amazing!! I love it!!
