Have you ever been camping?

Oh the joys of camping

Waking in the night

Knowing that the toilet block’s

Across a soggy field.

---

Assuming that you slept of course

On your hard bit of ground

Tight against your neighbour

Who’s restless, likely snores.

---

At least you got the tent up

That can be a chore.

Hope it was a good enough job

It’s blowing up a gale.

---

You’ll be up bright and early

No point lying in

You’re desperate for a warming brew

But camping stove won’t light.

---

Seek refuge in a cafe

A place with four good walls

Forget life under canvas

Don’t need it any more.
