Ilene Bauer Poet Rhyme

The Day Camp Bus

It makes a stop; the kids climb on
And poof! The day camp bus is gone.
The parents wave; the kids, strapped in,
Are off to let their day begin.

Some campers smile, while others fret,
Not certain of their prospects yet.
Still, most of them (not everyone)
Will spend some hours having fun.

The afternoon will come at last,
Their camping session over fast.
The day camp bus will bring them back,
Their parents waiting with a snack.

Hilda Greenhough June 29, 2024 at 8:05 PM This is a nice poem. I remember camp from my childhood, but I remember the kids that just didn't enjoy it, the most. They sort of stood out. It was a great time of youth.

Jan Allison June 28, 2024 at 10:00 AM You have portrayed this so brilliantly Ilene, I hope the grand children have fun - we don't have 'summer camps here although some places do offer 'activities' during the holidays not everyone can afford the luxury. hugs jan xx
