A Campfire Tale

by justjo66

Listen children and I'll tell you a tale.
Of granny and how she fell.
Beneath a cloudless sky I lay
The stars and moon shone bright as day.

The air felt cool upon my face
How had I come to be so quickly in this place?
My mind befuddled at first.
Then I remember my powerful thirst.

What a spectacle I must have been
Sailing through the night sky, a perfect score of ten.
It seems a missed step from the motorhome is all it took.
To find myself on my back is one for the memory book.

No harm done to my old frame.
Just a lesson learned for this old RVing dame.
When taking that first step out..., never fail,
Hold on to the darn STEP RAIL!!!!
