Ode to H20

When I am hungry, I drink it.
When I am bored, I drink it.
When I am thirsty, I drink it.

So here's to water, my tasteless friend!

ODE TO WATER
by Joyce Johnson Rouse

                                         It roars and it trickles
Gushes and dribbles
Whirls and it ripples
Water, water, water, water

It's wet and it's quenching
Drippy and drenching
Rinsy and refreshing
Water, water, water, water

From the earth or from the sky
It cleanses and it purifies

Pouring and swirling
Lapping and whirling
Crashing and curling
Water, water, water, water

Rushing and runny
Fizzy and funny
Yucky or yummy
Water, water, water, water
