arrogant joe from 95120, didn’t want to go to camp,
but his mom made him go.
“mom I just want to rest before I join the football squad…”
“joe- I’m paying good money, now go get some God!”
so off joe went to pack up his gear
he brought enough axe to last him a year.
he six brought pairs of jeans from abercrombie and fitch
in case you didn’t know, joe’s family was rich


when joe got to the church, all the students were there
joe got there late- he took extra time on his hair.
the youth pastor called out- “I don’t want to hear about kisses or cusses-
be on your best behavior and now go load the busses!”


the bus ride was long and the busses were stuffy
all that hot air made joe’s hair get all fluffy
arrogant joe’s stomach felt quesey and chunks almost flew
he yelled out “when my dad hears about this, he’s going to sue!”


when the crew stopped for lunch, joe got in an even worse mood-
the only options were mcdonald’s, in-n-out and other fast food-
joe started to complain and let out a yell-
“there aren’t any low-carb options at wendy’s or taco bell!”
“it’s gonna be a long week” said a volunteer, rolling his eyes-
he’s in your cabin!” said the youth pastor; chomping on fries.


the crew finally arrived, after many long hours
the boys checked out their cabin- joe checked out the showers-
“I can’t believe my parents sent me to this place-
the showers are tiny and there’s no counter-space!”
joe’s counselor said “its time to go to chapel and learn about God-“
joe said “get me the MP3- I’ll listen on my pod”
the counselor said “sorry we all have to go!”
“this better be good” thought arrogant joe.


when joe got to chapel, he found a big crowd
the skits were funny and music was loud
the speaker told the students “put God first tonight!”
but joe wasn’t listening, he looked at the girl on his right.
everyone at her church called her “stuck up sallie”
and she was prettier than any girl back in almaden valley.


for most of the week joe and sallie were exclusive-
their friends reached out to them but they were pretty elusive
when it came time for rec, sallie said “this is so lame”
joe’s counselor asked “joe- why aren’t you playing the game?”
“to be honest” he said “I think its kind of nerdy-
and these shoes were expensive- I don’t want them dirty.”
“joe you’re the best athlete in silicon valley-
but every time I look for you- you’re off hiding with sallie!”
joe’s counselor got frustrated and started to yell-
joe wasn’t that into sallie, but it was fun to rebel


unfortunately things didn’t last for this self-centered pair
but worse, they were distracted from worship and prayer
at the end of the week stuck-up-sallie’s proud heart went home broken
and sadly, neither of them heard the words that were spoken.
joe came home on saturday, with all of his gear-
God was trying to speak to him, but joe didn’t hear.
