Jack Ellison Poet Narrative

Camping In the Rain

Is there anything MORE miserable

Than camping in the rain

If you know of something

Write to me at “Soaked To The Bone”

Underwater, Ontario, Canada

This was my first time experience

Camping in the great outdoors

Of all weekends to choose from

Weather could not have been worse

Except perhaps a hurricane or a tornado

This was my first time camping

It may have been my last

I trusted the official weather forecast

Which predicted warm and sunny days

For the next six... SILLY ME!!!

Robert Nehls July 26, 2014 at 5:50 AM I have to admit, Jack, camping in the rain does take a bit of the fun out of it. To bad this was the first time. But, don't be discouraged, Camping when the weather is beautiful is a wonderful time. Maybe check several weather reports and average it out. This was a good one my friend.... Robert. Jack Ellison July 26, 2014 at 6:08 AM Might give it another shot... wish me luck! First one was a absolute disaster! Have a great weekend, my friend... Jack

Andrea Dietrich July 24, 2014 at 8:22 PM hahaha, this one is GREAT. To write of these awful experiences that one day we can look back and laugh on them. Good one, Jack.

Poet Tacito July 23, 2014 at 11:53 AM JACK!!!!!! :D Missed you sir! Did you survive the rain? It's probably best to bring a raft next time. Or just stay at a hotel. :) Fun read!

Carol Eastman July 23, 2014 at 9:56 AM Good morning Jack... from Carol and Dragon. What you needed was to have Dragon along. He can dry clothes REAL fast... Tho less fast is more preferable if you ever want to wear them again... LOL... And he can dry the rain drops over your head before they can get you wet... Remember... It's prudent to not camp at the foot of the hill... in front of a gully for... all the water usually runs THRU gullys... Good to hear from you my friend... Jack Ellison July 23, 2014 at 2:54 PM Never thought to ask for Dragon's help! Maybe we could borrow him if we go again! LOL I will definitely take your advice about where not to camp!!! LOL Big hugs... XOXOX
