I Went Camping/Ode to a Wastrel

It was awesome. I climbed and I hiked and I slept in a tent. I played disc golf and Rummikub.I drank river water, and I ate meat cooked in a pit. I escaped the clutches of a scorpion sleeping under my head. I watched a dog learn to swim, and I saw a few of my friends get naked in freezing water. I listened to Paul Simon and The Cure. I packed too much, drank too much, and talked too much. I saw the exact center of California. I never smelled so bad in my life. I hated leaving.
