Elton Camp Poet Rhyme

Deliver Me From Living In Florida

Deliver Me From Living in Florida

By Elton Camp

I can’t see how it can be any fun 
To live exposed to the broiling sun

And I most certainly wouldn’t care
To have sand tracked about everywhere

How could any Florida resident smile
When drinking water yellow and vile

And if you should buy a house today
Tomorrow sell it for half what you pay

And almost all of the people you see
Are old with skin wrinkled as can be

In a place I’d certainly hate to stay
Where a hurricane can blow away

And I wouldn’t really enjoy living at all
Where, from the toilet, a gator can crawl

Ilene Bauer May 28, 2012 at 9:54 AM even though i have family living in florida, i totally agree with what you've written here (and done so in a very delightful way!). Elton Camp May 28, 2012 at 10:01 AM We have relatives living in Venice, Florida. That's the best part of Florida to me, but I still prefer North Alabama even with our tornadoes. We live 15 miles from the path of the horrid EF 5 that leveled nearby towns, but it left us untouched except for insulation falling into our front yard. Elton
