Stupid Little Poem I Wrote This Summer

I wrote this with the kids this summer to try and fully explain our camper woes.  We were all tired of working on the camper! We are so glad it is over! D and I always feel like we are forgetting to do something now because EVERY spare minute we have is no longer filled up with working on the camper.

Ode to My Camper:

In the driveway, you set

Looking a little sad

The girls and I had a thought

And made a little bet

We looked through the HGTV magazines we had

And found several things that we bought.

We decided a little paint and cloth

Could really cheer you up.

Excitedly we worked together 

Planning out your salvation from demise.

We  had barely started on our camper

Before realizing that this would take forever

And shouted out with our woeful cries.

No longer would this project just be for fun

D had voiced concern over several things he found.

He said there was no point in going forward

If the structural issues were not done.

"The structural base must be sound."

He made a list of goals to work toward

And our fun camper renovation

Took a drastic turn

Now our days were spent under the sun toiling 

Many days we were out so long that we would burn

The temperature felt near boiling.

And it was NO longer a fun project.

Many times we would cry 

And really wanted to give it a rest

And even though we would try

Things moved too slowly at best

Here we are now
Months have moved slowly by
We have completed the camper
And tears of joy we have cried

Time to take her out
And have lots of fun
It has been rainy
With very little sun
But Branson
Here we come
