Camping with Girl Scouts

Took the Girl Scouts camping this weekend.  Here's an ambient poem made up of overheard snippets of their conversations.

Girl Scouts, Paradise Camp, June 2012

Girl Time!
What color are your flip flops?
Who moved my shoes?
Let's go outside and put our heads under the water fountain.
There's a turkey! Some people told us, last year, it attacked their camp!
I can't believe how blue the sky is.  Isn't it amazing?

Margaret, they want cookies.
Can we have this Nutty as a Fruitcake thing?
I found more yogurt balls.
That was supposed to go in my mouth.
Cashews are curvy, like me.

Oh. Oh.  Oh my God.
Circus people.
That guy is riding on the back of his car.  What an idiot.
That lady looked like she was topless.

B.S., Mary, B.S.  B.S. to Mary.
Right now, that is a synonym for cousin.
She said she was gonna put Nair in my shampoo.
And when I count to three, draw your weapons.
I'll be the victim.

All that physical work.  Is it really necessary?


The book trailer contest is now closed! I'll be putting up the top five photos later this week.  But here are a few more beauties to contemplate:

Here's Laurie.  Definitely Isis!

Here's Deb looking incredibly strong.  

To me, strength says the Indian goddess, Devi, who saved the world.
