Watson And Homes Went Camping.

Goldfinch60



Watson and Holmes went camping,

One fine, clear summer’s day,

They pitched their tent in a large, green field,

Surrounded by high, bright, hay.

 

They sat round the campfire.

Holmes smoking on his pipe,

And Watson writing in his diary,

Which later he would type.

 

When at last they went in the tent,

As tiredness upon them crept,

They slid upon their camp beds,

And on them they just slept.

 

At three o’clock that morning,

Or maybe there about,

Holmes awoke with quite a start,

And to Watson gave a shout.

 

“Watson, wake and look, what do you see?”

“I see a clear sky full of stars,

With the bright moon shining over us,

And above me there is Mars”

 

“Your vision of the stars above

Dear Watson is not tricked

But all that I can now deduce

Is that our tent has just been nicked”

    I've been wanting to go solo camping for a long time, but my family won't let me. I wanted to have an experience like this that I had never imagined.

            Hahaha! Nice one! The first thought was I hoped they’d had the presence of mind to create a clearing with a fire line as high and bright stalks are quite flammable! Oh well… gotta round up the imagination and bring them back to the corral.

            • Goldfinch60

              Thank you arqios, there was no fear of fire where they were in the UK at thi stime. LOL
