Caricatures |  |
Caricatures is just a collection of goofy poems and limericks about the people who attended Winter Camp XVIII. The tradition has not continued, although it easily could.
Lou Pezet
(Donohue)
Lou Pezet is in charge of our group
though the adults have brought him a hoop.
They boss him around
and then run him down
If I were him I’d start my own troop.
Ross Mullican
(Donohue)
Ross they call him or Fish some say
of course he left Winter Camp yesterday
as an Oatley child
he found us too wild
and our games were too rough to play.
Carl Mullican
(Donohue-Howey)
Just another tag-along brother in camp,
though Carl is a quick little scamp
He was having no fun,
so off he did run,
with his folks to see dear ol’ gramp.
Jordan Hancock
(Donohue)
Though he is from eight forty-two,
you have to give Jordan his due
he fought to come here
despite his mom’s fear
but asthma made him this trip rue.
Adam Pezet
(Howey-Donohue)
No tag-along brother this one
Adam’s out here to have his own fun.
It’s not just fate
that at soccer he’s great
for his hands and his pockets are one.
Doug Wilson
(Donohue-Howey)
There once was an engineer Doug
who owned a Volkswagen bug
built in ‘65
‘ere most were alive
and to this day he still makes it chug.
Jeff Rand
(Donohue)
There once was a fellow named Rand
who insisted that all life be planned
He did not like fun,
unless it was done
at the direction of his guiding hand.
Josh Caldwell
(Donohue)
Josh Caldwell does just what he says
whether it’s knives or collecting pez.
if he takes a hobby,
you don’t have to lobby
Someday he’ll probably be prez.
Brian Mann
(donohue)
Brian Mann does not much like sleep
and strange hours he likes to keep
he’ll stay up all night
demonstrating his might
at Risk, where his rules are a leap.
Nick Polifroni
(Donohue)
Polifroni’s the artistic type
whose cartoons are activities hype
they’re all drawn by hand
and look rather grand
at least ‘til the board gets a wipe.
David Radecki
(Donohue)
Our menu does not seem to please Dave
And nothing on it makes him rave
he brings his own stuff
so he’ll get enough
of the crackers and cheese he does crave.
Dave Woods
(Donohue)
Dave Woods attends one thing a year
lucky for us, he always comes here.
He likes to learn
and new things discern,
Someday he’ll be an engineer
Steve Donohue
(Hall)
All of Clearwater begins to weep
Steve Donohue is now asleep
What sounds like a roar
is actually his snore
leaving no cause for counting of sheep.
With its noise like an atomic blast
his snore leaves the whole room aghast.
The wee hours it fills
as your spine it chills
for all thoughts of sleep are long past.
For sleep his snore is a bane
it’s enough to drive you insane
You think he’s a jerk,
since you have to work
and he’s made your efforts in vain.
Ron Donohue
(Donohue)
Ron Donohue’s sometimes called "Beast"
though it’s the nickname he likes the least
he’s now long of tooth
and it’s from his youth
and a time that he calls "deceased".
The Beast is an interesting chap
who loves to just sit and yap
he knows some stuff best
and makes up the rest
till you wish he’d just shut his trap
Mark Hunt
(Donohue)
There once was a camper, Mark Hunt
who, though youngest, was hardly a runt
he was a card
who liked to work hard
and at work he didn’t mind the brunt.
John Howey
(Donohue)
John Howey faked an injury
who pretended that he hurt his knee
to skip the blind hike
and things he didn’t like
he even arranged surgery.
Joe Cipponeri
(Donohue)
There once was a trash-talker Joe
who at popcorn selling was slow.
He’d spend all his cash
on his Sega stash,
then he’d hit his dad up for more dough.
Mark Bollman
(Donohue)
There once was a Bollman named Mark
who thought trivia more than a lark
he can not relax
‘til he knows the facts
so to taunt him, leave him in the dark.
Joe Hall
(Donohue)
Joe Hall, though not twenty-one,
seems clearly to find drinking fun
though many have thunk
"What an unpleasant drunk!"
Why, I’ve even pondered a gun.
Roger Horn
(Donohue)
A good Christian man Roger Horn
leaves for work from here every morn
he comes back at night
to a heck of a sight
of the sort against which mom’s warn.
Mike Osvath
(Donohue)
Though once known as "Little Ozzie"
It seems plain to everybody
that it doesn’t apply
when you mean a guy
who weighs in between two and three.
Dan Hammon
(Donohue)
His speech is filled with "duhs"
and some folks call him "Cuz"
on a tiny guitar he played
"I’m a silly little milk maid"
and his hair’s not as long as it was.
