Sprinkler

On a bench right outside the front door We were waiting, like we've done before, For the camp bus to show. We were early, I know, But that's just how I am, to the core. All at once a surprise we did get When the sprinkler, whose timer was set To go on did just that And in two seconds flat We were both (and the backpack) quite wet. We jumped up and we ran out of range Then we laughed 'cause it surely was strange; But the early bird's terms Really do get the worms 'Cause we'd plenty of time left to change.
