The thunder rumbled while I was in the swimming hole,
crack boom bang,
I headed back to camp when I saw the lightning,
Under the tarp,
Rumble, rumble.
The storm never came that close,
But it started to rain,
Not that hard.
So I sat and watched.
The rain picked up,
The 5 gallon bucket next to the tarp
Filled up.
And then it stopped,
much like it started.
I went for another swim.
