Water, Water, Everywhere!
Some days it's best to bite your tongue instead of "sounding-off"!

WATER, WATER, EVERYWHERE!

Water, water, everywhere!
It's in my shoes and in my hair.
It's soaked me to my underwear
and that's no fun
I do declare!

Gee, was it only yesterday
it seemed the sun was here to stay?
The sky all stark- no cloudy gray
to hide the sun
and block it's ray!

I cursed Apollo's path, I think,
incurring wrath which in a blink
snatched me up in a second:  DINK!
and plopped me in
this giant drink!

And rest assured I laid my hand
to stroking, for to find dry land.
But not a single grain of sand
could I locate
'pon which to stand!

I swam, I did.  Tried every stroke
'tho choppy water made me choke.
I swam so hard I thought I'd smoke!
But still I'm here,
a bobbing bloke!


So now I float and watch the sky,
just spying for that angry guy
who took offense at my outcry
and left me here
to dream of dry!

And should I see his face again
I'll kiss his tush to be his friend,
if me back to sweet land he'll send
and bring this wet
world to an end!
