RIP Erich Anderson And Rob Dier
Woodsman on a prowl
Sneaking around like an owl
Noticing innocents getting a fright
Watchman you are a good knight
Defending partiers in a plight
Battling a monster in a murderous fight
Erich you guarded them all
Despite the rainfall
Where thunder clapped
Lightning snapped
Spotlighting your heroic stage
Heralded by the girls maturing in age

Confidence Sitting On Camper Top
As I get closer I see she is a woman
About nine foot tall
Her waist is probably less than eleven inches in diameter
Her legs are the width of a ruler
Self-confidence oozes out of this tiny being
She is sitting on top of her van camper
Drinking a six pack of root beers
There is not a pinch of fat

HAPPY CAMPER
Cultivation of thought with in the heart
That has been seeding in the soul
Journey of the bare mind state
Agitated, while the lifeline is Un whole.
Designing the stream of desires goal.
As time fly's for what is untold
Digging deepest heart of the intellect's gold.
Unwrapping mystery what has been fold.
Following the cycle,

The Retired Camper
The newly retired couple
came to Florida
escaping Canada’s winter.
Emerging from his camper
shortly before noon each day
he sat in a chair under an awning.
I never saw him reading
or going anywhere,
except short trips to the grocer.
His only interest seemed to be
cigarettes as he puffed
throughout the day.
I cringed each time I heard
him cough—a shallow and congested sound
from

Set Sail In My Camper Van
Set Sail in my Camper Van
This is it, this is the one,
This is my master plan,
When all the world is sleeping,
I set sail in my camper van.
My journey may take me east,
My journey may take me west,
An adventure to almost anywhere,
Stopping at places I like best.
Wondrous stories shall I recall,
Wondrous stories far and wide.
Discovering the

How to be a Happy Camper, dears,
Wake up smiling--we woke up, cheers!
Positive approach to daily life here,
Whatever happens, don't stress or fear,
Looking forward to a peaceful day,
No dumb arguments for a blessed way,
Say, "Never mind, blip happens, dears,
Smile and walk away, no tears,
It ain't Armageddon yet, dears,
At least we woke up here,
How to be

A Happy Camper
Life's taken on a whole new meaning
At this late stage on my trek
If I never ever see another tomorrow
It's complete as it'll ever get
Much happier now than I've ever been
There's joy in my heart everyday
The world could end but my life's complete
There isn't much more I can say
A most fortunate soul if there ever was

The Camper
Through the murky veil of morning fog, the smell of bacon,
as it creeps, slowly winding its way from the frying pan scent.
Riding high on the morning mist, it steals across into the tent,
silent as a crawling snail, into the cub Scout’s bag to awaken.

Happy Camper
In the wind I stand at the edge
where the sea touches soft
the shore,
where I gaze up at the skyline
where the sea expands
even more.
I feel big and proud being part
of the majesty
of it all.
But to the sea and sky, what am I?
Just a happy camper,
that's all!
