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.
