Example Poem

Camping Trip

"Dress for camping," I advised, "Wear red.

So she put on a pencil dress.

She wanted me home instead.

Her ploy was a success.

I stayed home and was not sad.

I was I'll admit, quite content.

Next time I said "Camping won't be bad."

"Dress in red.  Wear boots- You will be glad."

She dressed in leather; time well spent

and wore the best boots she had.

Even though she brought rope,

Figuring to snare our lunch?

I stayed home again.  I'm no dope.

And there I enjoyed my honeybunch.
