Deer Hunter's Camp

It's another year of Deer Hunters' Camp Where my friend Tom caught fire while igniting his lamp. He screamed, 'Put me out! ' as he ran out of sight. I yelled, 'Stop, drop and Roll... and you'll be alright! Then there was Greg, who loved to get drunk. He passed out in his tent, while hugging a skunk. Him stinking so bad, it must have been hell. So, we kept him down wind because of the smell. Now here comes Bill, who brought us a treat. He fed us all jerky that smelled just like feet. We about beat him to death with a bag full of rocks ‘Cause, it wasn't deer jerky, it was hard crusty socks. We hunted all week without any luck Then what came into camp was the world's largest buck. We looked at each other, beaten and tired Then pointed our guns, but nobody fired. We seemed to go through this year after year And I'm never amazed why we haven't got deer. When we all get together, the deer is the champ But, there's always next year at Deer Hunters' Camp.

This is a good giggle. On the other hand it made me cringe. I'm a quiet hunter. Believe the forest shouldn't be disturbed beyond the joy of seeing that buck as reward to my visit.

And you did get the laughs and giggles! Onc year two guys got into such a fierce competition to see who could make the best meal, we were unable to hike out very far, and went home several pounds heavier!

rereading this one. You have such a flair for humor. Sorry. I don't have more time to try to find a new poem to read. I need to remember I left off my search with your second to bottom poem on your page.
