Campfire Cologne

I am now "away from the noise," my fruit gum I am chewing. Sitting here wondering what the boys, could be doing. Now all unpacked, a book I will read. Need to use bug spray before I am attacked, Oh no I do not want to bleed. All "satisfied and alone," I thought this trip would be more fun. The rain has me chilled to the bone, maybe I am done. Campfire cologne will always stay, since I used an orange can of bear spray.

Thanks for your note. Good to see you. Glad you like my fun write/humor. I thought it was a fun way to end it. Watch out for the spray deodorant in an orange can, it will keep the bears/people away. Hahaha!!!! Enjoy your day with blessings...............

I love the unique nature of your poem, Paula. I remember 'campfire cologne' from my youth sitting by the campfire with my dad.
