Hello Muddah, Hello Fadduh! (A Letter from Camp)



Alan Sherman







Hello Muddah, hello Fadduh,



Here I am at Camp Grenada



Camp is very entertaining



and they say we'll have some fun if it stops raining.







I went hiking with Joe Spivy



He developed poison ivy



You remember Leonard Skinner



He got ptomaine poisoning last night after dinner.







All the counselors hate the waiters



And the lake has alligators



And the head coach wants no sissies



So he reads to us from something called Ulysses.







Now I don't want this should scare ya



But my bunkmate has malaria



You remember Jeffrey Hardy



They're about to organize a searching party.







Take me home, oh muddah fadduh, take me home, I hate Grenada



Don't leave me out in the forest where I might get eaten by a bear.



Take me home, I promise I will not make noise or mess the house with



other boys, oh please don't make me stay, I've been here one whole day.







Dearest fadduh, darling muddah,



How's my precious little bruddah?



Let me come home if ya miss me



I will even let Aunt Bertha hug and kiss me.







Wait a minute, it stopped hailing,



Guys are swimming, guys are sailing,



Playing baseball, gee that's better,



Muddah Fadduh please disregard this letter.
