camping is funny
bright and sunny
fill your boots
with bread and honey
camping is silly
wet and chilly
burned baked beans
in my black billy
camping is cheery
wine and beery
late to bed
and wake up bleary
camping is soggy
wet and boggy
tent smells like
a well walked doggie
camping is easy
fresh and breezy
clears your head
when you are queazy
camping is nippy
cold and drippy
blanket wrapped
like some old hippie
camping is flappy
zip and snappy
eating cake
while kids run happy
