“Wednesday” by Dr. Seuss

July 15, 2009

“Brevity is the soul of wit.” -William Shakespeare.

This morning bright and early,
With fog so thick and curly,
A high ropes course group met,
34′ off the ground without regret.

Breakfast was so decadent,
With crisp bacon so excellent,
The pancakes had so much syrup,
They made everyone cheer up!

Joshua with his guitar,
The music is always above par,
Alan Daniels brought the word,
Team Talkback was far from absurd.

Chaos was our game of choice,
Where every camper has a voice,
Crazy things on their staff they pour,
Leaving their staffers begging for more

Lunch is always an important meal,
Respite from the sun and a chance to heal,
It was everyone’s favorite feast,
Because of the sumptuous ROAST BEEF.

We went to the lake quick fast in a hurry,
so all of the teams could then show their fury.
With the fabulous game of CANOE TUG-OF-WAR,
Lake time activities are never a bore.

And now the lake opens and up goes a shout,
As all of the campers go scurry about,
They go to the blob where they once had their doubt,
Because they were itching to go try it out.

“The lake is now closed, so go to your cabin!”
Hannah shouts through the megaphone and we make it happen!

Let’s go and get cleaned up before we go to dinner,
The feast we have laid out makes us all feel like winners,
Spaghetti and meatballs with red or white sauce,
With love from the kitchen, where Addie’s the boss.

Now back to the chapel,
A.D.’s gonna talk,
As we all learn our lesson,
About walking the walk.

Josh Hannah Becky Justin Tucker Andrea A.D. and Ian,
The praise band is rockin’, and we are all singin’,
Worship expressed through the medium of song,
If we could, we would keep this up all the day long.

Mr. Frank brings a message of abstinence with love,
A fish wants a worm dangled by Tanner above,
As we all face our worms day in and day out,
We have roses to remind us there’s always a way out.

We have canteen break time, to relax and play volleyball,
then we come to the talent show, we’re far from the curtain call.
As each of the four teams show off their own creative spark,
Fred the Flying Squirrel has Josh acting like a lark,
The rest of the guy staff backs up Joah with dance,
As the campers laugh watching all the manly men prance.

I hope this sesquipedalian rhyme hasn’t frazzled your mind,
all of us campers and staff are having a great time,
It’s sad to see this lovely Wednesday drawing to an end,
But never you worry, we WILL be back again.

-Ian+Kinsee =)
