Hello Mudduh, Hello Fadduh,
Here I am at Camp Granada;
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 pois'ning
last night after dinner.
All the couns'lors 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 to scare ya,
But my bunk mate has malaria;
You remember Jeffrey Hardy?
They're about to organize a
searching party.
Take me home,
oh Mudduh,
Fadduh
take me home,
I hate
Granada;
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 Mudduh,
How's my precious little brudduh?
Let me come home if you miss
me,
I would 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,
Mudduh, Fadduh, kindly
disregard this letter.
