Mom I hope you get this letter
because I sent it right away
Camp is kind of cool and all

and it comes after all the rest

and it doesn't seem very sterile

I'm scraping for all I'm worth
I'm looking hard for a companion
I've been looking since
by Lilly Mantra
I suppose you didn't think I'd make it;
I wasn't worth your time -
Probably thought there wasn't much value,
