McCrae Lake Overnight
So easy to enter
Not far CQE
And a venture
For young-uns
And a delight for me.
There’s the entrance Madonna
Cache
And the high cliffs for sport
The fresh air and the best
Of sleeps.
And the beaver’s report.
Night time sky
All a-sparkle
Shooting star just by chance.
And a campfire short story.
This the Northland’s
Romance,
About this poem
Used to go to Camp Queen Elizabeth. Used to take out canoe trips. Smell of pine delicious. Food tasting so much better. Laughter in abundance.
