Going Camping....Not

This year for a vacation Camping we did go. It didn't have my vote, I was outnumbered, wouldn't you know. Camping is relaxing And fun at any age. Trying to start a fire With two sticks and burning rage. The fish, they won't bite But the bugs certainly do. And beans cooked over a campfire Definitely taste like glue. The weather man's an idiot, Sunny and clear he said. If I'd been warned about monsoons I'd have stayed at home in bed. The sunstroke from this afternoon Has left me weak and sore. At night the temperature drops Forty degrees or more. Would someone please explain Why I thought this would be fun. The people at the next campsite Are showing off their gun. They say they have a new dog They got him just last week. A cougar ate the last one Who apparently was meek. The lake is full of parasites, Perhaps they ate the fish. Vacation time next year Maybe I'll get my wish. While everyone else goes camping, Off having all that fun, I'll head off to a resort And soak me up some sun. p.s. based on true events written Aug.10/2010 ,by Francine Roberts entered in Constance's "Why oh Why" contest
