sudden downpour --
no one wins  
the wet-t-shirt contest


—David Giacalone

    sudden downpour
    ending just as suddenly--
    the lingering thunder

    My wife's comment - isn't that "everyone wins"?

    Thanks for the comments. Alistair, your wife is clearly an optimist. In the real world, many may be entered in the wet-t-shirt contest, but very few are chosen.

    everglades
    morning downpour--
    swatting horde of blood gorged black mosquitoes
