All the counselors 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 should scare ya, but my bunkmate has malaria. 
You remember Jeffrey Hardy? 
They're about to organize a searching party.

I've been here one whole day. 
 
Dearest Fadduh, darling Muddah,  
How's my precious little bruddah? 
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, dat's bettah! 
Muddah, Fadduh, kindly disregard this lettah!
