My Favorite Summer Camp Song

I was one of those fortunate kids who went to sleep away camp in the summers. And I went to cool ones. But no matter how cool a summer camp is, they all have corny camp songs. And I remember most of them to this day.

Back in the 1970's there was something on the market called RC Cola. Don't know if you can still find it but they had an advertising jingle that was titled "Me and My RC". Some of you may remember it.

The following camp song is one of my favorites and should be sung to the tune of the RC commercial...


"I woke up on Sunday morning
and I looked up on the wall.
The roaches and the bedbugs
were havin' a game of ball.

The sore was six to zero,
the bedbugs were ahead.
The roaches hit a home run
that knocked me out of bed!

Oh, me and my bedbugs,
me and my bedbugs.
What's good enough for other bugs,
ain't good enough for me and my bedbugs..."

Seems appropriate to where I live somehow, lol, even though I don't have bedbugs!

Lunch Date

I had a lunch date a few weeks ago. Guy I'd met online. We had emailed, talked on the phone, exchanged pics, the usual.

As mentioned in a previous post, I live in a rather sub-standard place and there is no doorbell. I arranged for my date to call when he arrived and I was to meet him outside.

He called, I headed down the stairs and into the street. Seeing the car, I begin to walk toward it when I notice a woman in the passenger seat. I pause, thinking it's the wrong car, when the driver door opens and out steps my date looking very upset.

The woman in the passenger seat looks up at me, opens the door and says, "You look more expensive than me", then walks away.

My date then explains that when he pulled up, she jumped in and asked if he was looking for a date! When he told her to get out of the car she refused unless he gave her five dollars. He threatened to call the police as she was unbuttoning her top, and that's when I arrived.

You know you're in the city when your date is propositioned by the local working girls at 11:30 in the morning!
