Pantoum - Don't Ask Me to Camp - April 2012

From Wikipedia:

The pantoum is a form of poetry (where)there are repeating lines throughout the poem...(T)he second and fourth lines of each stanza are repeated as the first and third lines of the next. This pattern continues...except for the final stanza, which differs in the repeating pattern. The first and third lines of the last stanza are the second and fourth of the next to the last stanza; the first line of the poem is the last line of the final stanza, and the third line of the first stanza is the second of the final.


Don't ask me to camp.
The ground is so hard,
The sleeping bag's damp,
The hot dogs are charred.

The ground is so hard,
The pancakes aren't done,
The hot dogs are charred
And it just ain't no fun.

The pancakes aren't done,
The toilet's a bush
And it just ain't no fun
With a breeze on my tush.

The toilet's a bush,
No shower in sight,
With a breeze on my tush
I won't sleep all night.

No shower in sight,
The sleeping bag's damp.
I won't sleep all night.
Don't ask me to camp.
