Home From Camp
by Tammy Pringle
I just returned home from summer camp
My suitcase full of the clothes mom packed
She'll be happy to know that they don't reek
Because I wore the same thing all week!

About Me
- Tammy Pringle
- I graduated college with an English degree, and although I have been writing and editing for 20 years, I did not start writing for children until I had my own. I guess I needed to feel qualified, and I think that being Mom to five creative and lively boys has filled that requirement! Soon after my oldest son was born, I started making up silly rhymes to sing and say to him. When he became a toddler, I composed a rhyming prayer for him to memorize and recite at meal times. I continued having children and making up rhymes for them until the combination quite naturally turned into a passion for children's writing. I enjoy working with the English language and coming up with fun and absurd ideas. I grew up reading Dr. Suess. His works, because of their rhyme and the style in which he wrote them, have stayed with me into my adult years. Most of us can remember the rhymes we learned as children. My hope is that my poems will be widely read, enjoyed, and remembered by those children (and adults!) who read them.

My son and his tentmates actually did this during a week of Boy Scout camp. The parent who picked them up drove 50 miles home with all the windows down...
