Poetry: Bottom of the barrel

by C F Tinney

Created on: April 26, 2008

Mom I hope you get this letter
because I sent it right away
Camp is kind of cool and all
but it doesn't always go my way

We learned bow and arrows
and I put one in Luke's head
Thank goodness they were "practice"
at least that's what the Doctor said

Last night we did camp fires
and mine was quite a sight
The Fire Chief told the Ranger
it should be out tomorrow night

We even went fishing on the lake
and I can cast my line really far
And though I hooked Billy pretty good
the Doctor isn't expecting a "big scar"

Tonight we bob for apples
I guess the Ranger likes me best
Because he said mine is special
and it comes after all the rest

I think its kind of funny though
and it doesn't seem very sterile
Cause he says mines the special one
nailed to the bottom of the barrel!
