Amble up to the fire lest you
Meet me at the wood pile to chop and work.
Partake in smoky stories
In your best plaid (lumber jacket that is!),
Noting where the wind blows
Great gusts of white rabbit puff tails to smoke you out.
Cheeky coons may eye your stash, so
Hold your marshmallows fast
Even as the 'smores are
Charred and cooked to perfect
Kibble crusts. Resist!
Love that oozing mess
In hair! Oh my, that
Shall be murderous to remove by
Torchlight.Sandy soap will suffice til dawn.
List of Camping Necessities:
- marshmallows
- matches
- flashlights
- fire wood
- a good attitude to see you through to the end of the trip
This is a whimsical take on an upcoming camping trip I am planning. I have linked up over at a new blog to add to the fun. Check it out! http://oneshotpoetry.blogspot.com/
ReplyDeletehaha. fun stuff...what no sleeping bag or tent...smiles. thanks for linking up to oneshot!
ReplyDeleteThe list is actually miles long, but I didn't want to bore you poor readers. I picked up coolers (the liquid kind), mosquito coils, and rope too! How is that for an addition to the checklist. What to do with that? I bet there will be a tent, camp chairs, air mattresses and solid coolers as well, just so's you don't think I rough it that severely :)
ReplyDeleteRhyme on Brian!!
