Ode To Joe

Last year in scout camp we invented, This song entitled Ode to Joe.
We sat there trying to decide, What practical joke to pull.

Joe was in his tent sleeping, He had his blankey and his teddy bear.
We decided to implore him, to go yonder over there.



To retrieve some wood for our cooking, we had specific instructions too!
And now the following is what we told him, To be sure and go out and do.

We asked for vines and we asked for leaves, knowing full well Joe would get poison ivy.
He started the fire, with Boy Scout ease, As we skeddadled to take our leave.

We had extra work next day at school. Good old Joe was not a fool.
Practical jokes surely don't pay, Cause Joe was at home with his teddy today!
