WATER
It's two parts "H" and one part "O"
Pour some out and go with the flow
Water is a life-saving drink
But spill it on wool and the sheep might shrink!
You and me, we're mostly just water
So is my son and so is my daughter
It makes a great drink; it's good for the flowers
And when we're all smelly, we use it in showers
Yes, it's great to drink water, full to the brim
But it's also a blast to jump in and swim
Coffee, tea; it's great to brew with it
It's just amazing; there's so much to do with it!
It can come down as snow; you can freeze it as ice
You can water your garden or a paddy of rice
You can fill a balloon and toss it at friends
Yes, the list of its purposes just never ends!

What Busy Bee Suz said
It just occurs to me
Poems come from you
Like water from the sea
