Camping

by Gunnar

Camping is fun, until night

you run to your tent

then you get hot in your sleeping bag

you sit there wishing,

waiting for morning.

You wake up your brother

then he is scared.  Then you

need to go to the bathroom--

it is on the other side

of the campground.  You run

with your flashlight.  You go, then 

you run like bees are chasing you.

You get inside your tent

you quiet down

you hear the crickets chirping

then you fall asleep

and dream about a party

you're going to tomorrow.
