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
