Raindrop Trap

Rain pattered down, driving me out of the shed on a dash across the wet grass! I scrambled under the slatted wooden garden bench to stay dry. Right in front of me sat an overturned plastic plant saucer catching drip-drops from the wooden planks above. Plink! Plonk! I crouched low, gripped my flashlight tight, and tapped the rim with its metal end. TING! The drips instantly answered back—plink-ting-plonk! We started a whole percussion beat together under the shelter!
