"Family Vacation - Going Camping"
You finally went without fear.
You bought camping gear.
Now your life can start.
You will venture past the park.
It was a big step for you.
'Roughing it' is all new.
Your family is proud of you.
The loan agent is too.
So off you go in the know.
A camping you will go.
Your neighbors you will show,
Your not just any 'Joe blow'.
Those friends will gawk,
At the stuff you bought.
Especially at what is strapped
To the car's top. Is that a hawk?
You knew you should have bought,
That four wheeler you thought,
But your station wagon will do.
It has a car carrier on top too.
The tents laying on top of the car,
The sleeping bags tied to the sides,
The food is sandwiched inside,
And a pot to cook. There you are.
It was close, but we made it all fit.
Kids can you find a place to sit?
Finally we are on our way
To find a spot to 'pitch camp' and stay.
We'll find a spot secluded,
Where camping is well suited.
We'll hear the call of nature.
"Daddy, can I go to the bathroom?
At last see beautiful wild flowers,
And deer roaming on the hill side.
"Are those electric towers?"
We'll find where the wild reside.
"Dad, do I have to wear this
Daniel Boone Hat? It got flat."
All right let's start with that.
Carry it to that spot that's flat.
We must not get side tracked.
We are here for the adventure.
"Look, Mom, my foot fits in that.
It's too small to be a bear track.
Children, pay attention to me.
In nature you can be free.
"Dad, I think I see a skeleton.
It seems to be tied to that tree."
Enough sight seeing for now.
Let's build a fire somehow.
See if you can find some wood.
Winner gets a quarter. Understood?
I like to give you little incentives.
It brings out your inventiveness.
That's important for creativeness.
"That's just Dad's bloviatingness."
We better get finished soon.
I can see up there the full moon.
It is starting to get real dark.
Remember this is not a walk in the park.
"I wish we had more clothes to use.
"I forgot to bring our regular shoes.
We'll just have to wear sandals.
Or hop around with garbage
Bags with handles." Mom said seriously.
It is getting late so into those sleepers.
Time to rest those little peepers.
"That's enough, Mom, I'm 14. You are
Giving me the "Jeepers Creepers."
I am going to take the first watch.
"You mean we have to take turns?"
How else will you ever learn?
"Is it another quarter I will earn?"
Very funny! I will keep the fire going
When the embers start glowing
I will be knowing more wood I best
Be gathering and on it throwing.
"That's good, Dad, You made a rhyme."
To get to sleep Let's see who can be,
The quietest for the longest time.
"I guess that means no more rhymes?"
(Should there be more?
I guess it depends on...
if they hear a roar...!)
