DELIGHTS OF CAMP LIFE by ANONYMOUS

First Line: COME TO THE HOME OF THE FRIENDLY MOSQUITO
Last Line: COME TO WHERE THE CENTIPEDES CRAWL UNDERNEATH
Subject(s): CENTIPEDES;INSECTS;MOSQUITOES; BUGS;
COME to the home of the friendly mosquito,
List to his cheerful inspiriting hum;
With his exuberant spirits he'll greet, O,
All who will deign to his marshes to come.

Come where the bullfrogs are croaking around us,
Croaking our choruses back in our teeth;
Come, for the black flies above do surround us;
Come where the centipedes crawl underneath.
