The Camping Trip
Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson went on a camping trip.
They set up camp, ate a hearty meal, and then had a little nip.
Some hours later, Holmes awoke and nudged his good buddy.
Watson, my friend, look up and tell me what you see.
Holmes, my mate, I see a million stars against a darkened sky.
But, why on earth did you wake me, when you can see better than I.
Please, Watson, ponder for a minute and really focus.
Then, tell me, what you observe above us.
There are a million galaxies, Astronomically.
And Saturn is in Leo, Astrologically.
Then, I deduce it’s about a quarter past three, Horologically.
I realize that GOD is all powerful, Theologically.
Plus, I suspect we’ll have a beautiful day tomorrow.
Tell me Holmes, why are you troubled with grief and sorrow?
Then, Holmes just shook his head, after a minute.
Watson, you idiot. Our tent has been stolen while we were in it.
