Camp Visiting Day

We visited the camp to see Our grandkids hard at play. Of course, the temps were broiling On this sunny summer day. The camp had lots of water and The trees gave lots of shade And lots of cool activities Were planned and thus displayed. The kids were thrilled to see us As were we to watch their fun But, despite the shade and water, We were fried when it was done. The campers all looked happy, Too absorbed to note the heat While we grands were glad to make it Back to our A/C retreat.

"We were fried when it was done" is exactly how my in-laws felt after watching their grandchildren play. Well said, indeed! Aloha! Rico

what a charming poem Ilene, I too love reading about the grandkids, I enjoy being allowed a peek into their childhood through your superb rhyming poems. You must put them in a scrapbook for them to read when they are older:-) hugs Jan xx

I love reading your poems of your grandkids. Summer Camp, hot and damp. But yet the kids just run and scamp. Their little hearts pump cool and strong. With strength by the fire to still sing a song.
