What Is Water?

What is water?, not that much,
Just some hydrogen and such,
But without it we would be,
All dried up, you will agree.

Bathe in water; swim about,
Without water we'd have drought,
Crops all dying, people too,
Without water we'd be through.

In the oceans, full of salt,
Want to drink it?, better halt,
It could kill you, and it will,
Let it flow and let it spill.

Some polluted; alkaline,
Think I'll drink a glass of wine,
Bottled water is okay,
Though not free, I have to pay.

Waterfall and slimy slough,
Bubbling brook and morning dew,
Icicle and misty fog,
Living life inside a bog.

Water, good, and water, bad,
Makes me happy, makes me sad,
So much water, none to drink,
Water, clear, and some like ink.

Water is a thing we need,
For to cleanse and for to feed,
Cherish and appreciate,
Or it soon will be too late.
