We’re packing the car to go camping.
My friend is going, also.
This is her first time camping.
I will tell her things she should know.
There are important things about
camping
For which I must prepare you.
It’s quite a bit different than staying at
home
And you’ll be smiling when we are
through.
If something is tickling your leg,
Like maybe it’s crawled up your pants,
Check, ‘cuz you’re probably standing
On a hill belonging to ants.
Don’t stand up in the canoe,
Like sometimes you can in a boat
And always wear the life vest
So if you fall out, you’ll float.
If you accidentally drop the paddle
When we’re far away from the shore,
We can row really fast to get it.
We’ve done that two times before.
So we don’t pick the flowers or plants.
We stay on the paths when we roam.
We keep safe distance from wildlife
And remember we’re guests in their home.
When it’s time to get ready for bed,
I wear my regular clothes
Because changing into pajamas
Is really just way too cold.
We don’t need to set the alarm.
When it is time to awake,
We get out of the tent when the sun heats
it up.
We can’t stay in or we’ll bake.
