Water Poems

Water
Water, water everywhere, water all around,
Water in the ocean, water in the ground.
Water in a river, water in a creek,
Water in a faucet with a drip-drip leak!
Water in a fountain, water in a lake,
Water on a flower, as day begins to break.
Water from a waterfall, rushing down from high,
Water from a dark cloud, raining from the sky.
Water boiling hot, water frozen ice,
Water in a blue lagoon, clean and clear and nice.
Water at a fire, gushing through a hose,
Water in a garden, so every flower grows.
Water for the animals swimming in the sea,
Water, water everywhere for you and for me!

The Water Cycle
When I was young
I used to think
that water camefromthe kitchen sink.
But now I'm older,
and I know,
that water comesfrom rain and snow.
It stays there, waiting,in the sky,
in clouds aboveour world so high.
And when it falls,it flows along,
and splashes outa watery song,
as each raindropis joined by more
and rushes tothe ocean shore,
or to a lake, a brook, a stream,
from which it rises,just like steam.
But while it's down here
what do you think?
Some DOES go to
the kitchen sink!

Dickery Dean
"What's the matter
With Dickery Dean?
He jumped right into
The washing machine!"
"Nothing's the matter
with Dickery Dean—
He dove in dirty,
And he jumped out clean!"
