Ode to Folk Fest, Part 2


This year was the 54th Annual Philadelphia Folk Festival and my 7th!  Every year it just keeps getting better.  I love the campgrounds, the music was amazing, the people are my people.  And it didn't rain once, which is a small miracle.  A few years ago I wrote some fun haiku to remember the occasion and here are some more!


Sprinting required
To claim our usual spot
Home sweet home

Wagon fleet ready
Pile it high, not coming back
This is why I train

Thank you kind stranger
Pushing me up the giant hill
Wouldn't have made it

Unrelenting sun
Trying to fry all my friends
But not me, Brown Ber


Loud tequila fool
Sticky booze runs down your chin
Impressive and gross

Now please take a hint
Don't overstay your welcome
Already too late

That glowstick cactus
Trying to dry out the world
One chump at a time

Get so hydrated
Whether you like it or not
Drink water God damnit!

How am I awake?
It must be adrenaline
Cue the face plant nap

Warm cheesy tots, yes!
They make my belly happy
Let's go get some more

Creepy raccoon man
Snuck in our site from the back
What's that in your hand?

"Local, organic"
He chugged our olive oil
Ew, what just happened?!


First rats, now raccoons?
We got a real pest problem
In this neighborhood

Safety first (hydrate)
Teamwork (plus don't be a dick)
Framily - know the rules!

Let's go to the creek
Shoes and booze both required
Watch out for boulders

El Caribefunk
Your late night jams are magical
Please keep coming back


Hello there neighbors
We should be friends in real life
Since we're Fest framily

55th Folk Fest
Already looking forward
Next year, hurry up please

Thanks for these hilarious shots Marion!

Anybody got some haiku skills?!

Ode to Folk Fest

When I was in high school, I used to write funny haiku back and forth with a friend.  Since I could never really describe the Philadelphia Folk Fest experience to you, I decided to write some haiku!  Some of them might not make any sense… but enjoy Smile

Carry all our stuff
Why didn't we pack less crap?
God bless the wagon


Rain, rain, go away
Giant mud pits everywhere
Oh God, don't fall in


Go nap in the shade
I forgot to sleep last night
Found a hammock, win!


Hey Captain Burnout
Disrespect me in my site?!
You're not welcome here


I need a shower
I refuse to pay for one
Let's go to the creek!


Bag of Doritos
Filled up with taco toppings
2 dollars?!  Heck yes


A campground wedding
Men in tuxes, bride full gown
Emotional crowd


I don't know your name
Tell me again tomorrow
Still won't remember


Getting all folked up
Yelling weird things with my friends
DJ Lighterback


Kodiak brown bear
Coming down the mountain, With a
Salmon in its mouth!


Champagne koozie please
Required for my Andre
You've been champoozled


Get a tan... or burn
Groove, sway, and dance your butt off
Pasta salad feast


Meet tons of new friends
Go see some amazing bands
Special bonds are formed
