Not Bad
Ten children watched as we built a fire,
Tinder, a match, kindling and firewood.
They talked and laughed as the flames went higher,
But they did keep their distance as they should.
They hoped that we’d cook something very good.
Of the Oregon Trail, they’ve come to learn.
We taught fire safety as logs did burn.
We brought out the big cast-iron pot we had.
Of cornmeal and water, each took a turn.
Hey, hasty pudding with honey—not bad!
