NOTE FROM JILL:
Ah, the great outdoors
“Roughing it” is what they say
Let’s see what WE say


The Top 6 Haikus About Camping


6> Hubby is amazed
That after going swimming
There is much shrinkage

5> Yippee! Joy! Camping!
With bugs, rain, mud, snakes, vermin
Fun, like chewing glass

4> Every husband asks
Does my wife crap in the woods?
Camp to seek answer

3> Nature’s cruelty:
Rise to frosty dawn, and find
Bears ate my Twinkies

2> Boots, water, map, snacks
Hiking to the mountain top
Oh crap, no t.p.

and the Number 1 Haiku About Camping…

1> Couple in the wild
After much in-tents humping
He offers her s’mores.
