I stay thirsty
by holding a water bottle
an inch from my lips.

When rain begins to fall,
I know enough
to bite my tongue.

The camel, viewed from
the perfect angle,
is a graceful animal.

In a serious game
of Scrabble, don’t use
an S impulsively.

A shock of cartoon
lightning strikes me
mid-rain, mid-game,

before I can earn
any points
for spelling QUENCH.
