A lighthearted idea Ive been struggling to make into a poem, I appreciate any help or tips
That's not camping!
The diesel fumes fester while you park the RV
Vacationing with your microwave and satellite TV
Camping is escape, to beaches in summer, and leaves in the fall
Luxuries abound as though you've never left home at all
The generator hums as you turn on the power
providing light for your jumbo shower
That's not camping!
Camping is nature and wilderness and stuff
Sometimes it is supposed to be a little rough

That's not camping!
I stay only in my pop up camper
keeping it simple, I dont need to be pampered
It's all about fishing, swimming, taking a hike
off to the woods where I ride on my bike
my bug spray on while i sit by the fire
singing songs until we tire
I've found the stove, the burners are lit
Food cooked outside is always a hit
That's not camping!
No luxury camping in style
Sometimes It can be fun to rough it a while

That's not camping!
you're wrong too
nobody gets it, not like I do
camping is complete escape from society
Becoming one with the forest entirely
Live in the woods, sleep in the trees
Summertimes you sweat, winters you freeze
Why bother with your bug spray?
a splash of urine will keep the insects away
While camping the only food I will eat
is caught by my human hands and human feet
eventually the forest and I will become one
That is the source of my joy and fun
That's not camping!
trailors and RV's parked on a site
I am the one who does it right
