Water's for ...
What would happen if water disappeared from the earth?
Water's for...
washing,drinking
making tea.
cleaning the bath
or scrubbing me;
shining a car
or rinsing a shirt
watering tomatoes,
shifting the dirt
...my Mum says.
But I say...
Paddling in wellies
or just in feet
(puddles are good
but sea's a treat)
squirting at brothers.
splashing Dad.
soaking my sister
to make her mad!
Mixing with mud
to bake a pie.
spraying the dog
or catching a fly
bath or puddle,
sleet or rain,
let's all play
a WATER game!
