Phlaming Phelines

Each of us brought our goodies to camp,
Pulled to the top of the trail.
The best of the best, to give us the strength,
To ensure that we could not fail.
Slice brought his economy-sized cans of beef,
Donated ravioli.
Gardner brought burritos with specially- made
Elk sausage, so good to see.
Joey brought steaks, and yes, ‘tis true,
All condiments were there safely packed.
Strudels and soda in abundance did lie,
So that none could say we lacked.
A roaring hot fire, lots of good food,
Everyone fully satisfied.
And then to fun our minds were turned,
By the reflection of firelight.
Out they came, those flammable fancies,
Works of quality explosions.
Black cats by the brick, ensured
To give out many hot motions.
One hundred per tenth, divided.
The first of the matches we lit.
One hundred kittens ignited.
And every which way they split.
Ten times ten gave light to show
The scene that then played out.
Fireballs flying, everyone diving,
To make all the cats go out.

  1. Yes, this really did happen, and no, they weren't actually felines. I'm sure you can figure it out.
