F.I.T. (Franklin in Tents) by Franklin

​One of the benefits of living in a tent
I did not have any rent
Some may say or think I’m bent
Still, I did not pay one red cent
 
In ways I lived as if I was homeless
But in reality I was being fearless
Facing each day and night
Not only with care but also fright
 
Some may see this as a thrill
Seeing as I had not one single bill
But there is a lot more than comes with this deal
Even if it seems to be surreal
 
Dangers are all around with this roll of the dice
Fending off nightmares and disease from lice to mice
Most of all there is the weather like rain, snow and ice
These things alone prove it’s not always a paradise
 
There are benefits to reap
While living on the cheap
Some will make you happy or weep
Think think think before you
Take this leap
Throughout the year
You can sit and enjoy a beer
Watch some wildlife like deer
Face your fear and shed a tear
 
But you’ll always remember what it meant
To live a part of your life in a
Tent
