i like water

water is good, water is cool,
gather it up into a pool.
or drink it betimes with a terrible thirst
'til again satisfied. go eat a wurst.

sorry, it's hard to rhyme thirst. if i had to give up all but one modern convenience, clean water through the tap has to be it. yes, it would be uncomfortable to use an outhouse. walking wouldn't get me far. lights are better than candles. stoves and refrigerators are up their on the list. but can you imagine having to go to the nearest creek everyday to gather enough water to drink, bathe, cook, etc.? And if it's the River Sidon, get your water upstream. ya never know what someone upstream has done to pollute the water you gather, i.e. bathing, washing, peeing, dead bodies, etc.

so, here's to water!! yea!!!!!

I would have rhymed thirst with something about drinking so much water till your stomach begins to burst
