Smart-Aleck Mountain Echo

I anticipated a campin' trip in the mountains a few days ago.
Ah, the splendor of the risin' sun while slurpin' a mug o' joe!

I greeted one morn with a hearty "HOWDY!", I was so engrossed!
Alas, my euphoria was shattered when the echo replied, "GIT LOST!"

This puts me in mind of a lover crooning under the window of his desired in a building where the disdain of a neighbor shouting out ruins the mood. I loved it Bob! Have a lovely Easter! : ) xxoo

What a hoot especially since I thought I was dealing with 'serious' couplets. Loved the surprise, the sense of humor and still have a picture of one's expression were such an answer to occur! (I'm using Tim Conway, well, my imagination is). All the best ... CayCay
