WATER (john R. Crossland)

                          WATER



Water has no taste at all,
Water has no smell,
Water's in the waterfall,
In pump, and tap and well.

Water,s everywhere about,
Water,s in the rain,
In the bath, the pond and out,
At sea, it's there again.

Water comes into my eyes.
And down my cheeks in tears,
When mother cries, "Go back and try
To wash behind those ears."

    We learn every word of that poem and could have repeated it by heart. It's beautiful.

    This poem that was titled WATER was my primary school work from 1984. It was part of a subject on how people got it and used it,but had to be put in a poem. IT WAS WROTE AT TAL Y BONT PRIMARY SCHOOL. How it came to be so popular, amazes me. -David Jones, 47
