Weird Wednesday: A Peaceful Family Outing

The camping trip had started nice enough,
With tasty snacks, fresh-roasted from the fire,
But quickly things had gotten rather rough;
An unknown interloper'd tripped the wire
And his whole family, now on alert,
Were armed and anxious, ready for the kill!
They followed shoe-prints in the sandy dirt
And acted out some half-imagined drill
Of self-defense. As flames now flickered low
His children's tension nearly drove him mad.
He bade them all to calm down and to go
To sleep, but there was no rest to be had.
"Oh, Sasquatch, you had human sightings once.
They, too, need tales of crazy childhood stunts."
