Dear Rhyme

Dear Rhyme,

So my blog is back online
And although it took some time
To get back into this, that's fine with me
Because I've been quite busy
Working at camp and getting creative in different ways
Like writing some ridiculous songs and getting crazy
A lot of face paint and glow sticks
And showing restraint by not throwing fits
When the new staff working with our kids
Didn't know what "doing their job" really is
I spent a lot of that time making up for their mistakes
In spite of the fact that just a little effort is all it takes
For me to not hate you
But sometimes I do
Especially when you screw me over
By not doing what you're supposed to

But I digress, because that's not the purpose of me writing
The whole point of this is that I haven't been hiding
I've been working away from regular technological access
So keeping up on my blog would have been illogical excess
For it would have been such extra work on my part
Keeping me from being able to work so hard
As I did at camp - and then I would have been just like those others I complained about earlier.

Also surlier than I already was because I'd have been so tired
I already wasn't sleeping, but I can only be so wired
From that crazy camp-vibe that keeps me going full-tilt for a month with no rest
So the extra worry of doing this little blog would have kept me from being my best
And we can't have that, can we?

No. We can't.

So it took me a while to finally write again
With the kids and me back at school doing Orientation
Getting back into the swing of things, my summer vacation gone
It went by like nothing, while also feeling like a refreshingly long
Time away from school worries
And I'm in no hurry to get it going full-speed, but I'm not dreading it
I think this year will be even smoother, with less bullshit
And less bullshit is good.

So sorry to you few loyal readers who got bored during my absence
I intend to get back on it and fully reward your patience
By writing some kick-ass shit.

Yay-er,
CVT
