Sense Sonnet - Pumper

Aftershock

Struck by lightning, I did survive,
And I suffered no injuries.
I was lucky to be alive,
According to all the studies.
But shortly after the bolt jolt,
I discovered something quite odd.
Anything of batteried volt
Goes dead when exposed to my bod.
I guess one option would be to
Become like the Amish or such.
But otherwise, all that I do,
I have to watch out what I touch.

Guess it's better a battery
Be dead, rather than dead be me.
