Camp Man UP
Jump for joy !
Scream with glee!
Dance with passion,
Your on the brink of being a boy
Childhood pranks will have to flee,
Manly pose is now the fashion,
Its time to
MAN UP!
So welcome to Camp Man Up
Where the dusk of boyhood,
Is usurped my manhood ready to erupt!
Its an organic ritual
Not religious,but kind of spiritual
Its time to
MAN UP!
No longer to pull at pigtails,
Its, so long to bubblegum kisses,
Time to outdo other macho males,
Scour the terrains,draining ales,
Search for the perfect Misses
Its time to
MAN UP !
So now your grown,
Your seed is sown,
With your little boys,
You run a mock.
If times are tough or really dire
Instinctively you yearn to save and protect,
Your love and all that you have sired.
Once again the ritual will begin,
The time will come to teach your kin
to
MAN UP!

ReplyDeleteGreat poem, but do they ever really grow up? Do any of us?
ReplyDeleteYou got that feeling excitement in the picture well. And growing up is over-rated.
ReplyDeleteGreat take on the photo... yet do we ever truly let ourselves totally grow up? Maybe a glimmer of those childhood days still lives on.
ReplyDeleteGreat poem..I remember going to that camp :)
