What I Saw at the Lake
By Elton Camp
Down at the lake, there was nobody around
Except those of nature, there wasn’t a sound
I saw her lying there, legs thrust back
Of any clothing there was a total lack
Her eyes were open & she looked my way
Although not a single word she did say
She was breathing through her nostrils flared
And didn’t act at all embarrassed or scared
Her legs were muscular and entirely bare
So at her I seemed just compelled to stare
I’d never seen skin nearly as smooth as that
It was an impressive sight for one to arrive at
The warm sun she seemed to be taking in
I’ve not seen that before & might not again
I hoped that she wouldn’t do anything rash
But into the water she went with a splash
I waited wondering if I’d see her anymore
Most especially just lying there as before
The frog had disappeared to whence she came
I later learned that Rana catesbeiana is her name
