Genre. Poetry The Camping Trip We roughed it at Old Piney Park, With tents and hot dogs after dark. I'd barely yawned and gone to sleep, When I felt something creep, creep, creep. A slimy something crawled on me, Across my toe, up to my knee. Essential Question What makes you laugh? Read two poems about funny situations.

Ridiculous! Hard to believe, That creature slithered up my sleeve. It was not humorous or fun. I hollered “ Rattlesnake! Let's run! " We all jumped up and stomped around, Our tent collapsed flat on the ground. Ten flashlights clicked on to reveal, That creepy crawly by my heel. I blushed bright red, " Oops, I was wrong. " Snake? No, a lizard-one-inch long. -Constance Andrea Keremes
