Closing down Campcraft

36 pie irons, but no more pizza pockets.
12 medium pots, but no more puppy chow.
17 large pots, but no more caramel popcorn.
34 pocket knives, but no more whittled picture frames.
96 pieces of rope, but no more square knots.
6 tarps, but no more sleep-outs.

Last night, I collected the last tinder,
stacked the last kindling, burned the last fuel.
Then I ate meatloaf baked in an onion,
cheesy biscuits roasted on the end of a stick,
and pineapple upside down caked perfected on coals.

Tomorrow or the day after, I will finish counting,
campcraft will close,
and then camp will follow.
