Summers of '80

I remember:
Our red dodge with a hood

Where we would camp in back
With a box of cereal - Cheerios
My little arm all the way'n
Eating little round o's
With small chubby fingers

The truck reminiscent 
of my childhood in the '80s

Parked in a camping spot
With all our stuff in tow
Stretching our legs outside
Deep breathes in, deep breathes out
Of the lovely countr' air

A small walk to the creek
Where we went through the dam
Down around to the falls

In our bags a small meal
tuna fish 'n' chips with dip
And a jug of Kool-aid

We would laugh we would swim

The sun was happy to
Gleefully shine in our eyes
In the summers of '80
