It has been raining constantly lately. I must be really tired of it. It is obviously getting to me because yesterday I wrote this very ‘serious’ poem about water. Ahem!
Water is an essential element
They say I’m 60% water
I thought it was more, still
Water is an essential element.
If there were no water
I’d never have learned to swim
Perhaps I would have drowned.
What would we drink without water?
Maybe we’d all drink whiskey
with breakfast, lunch and dinner.
We’d all be so drunk we’d fall
into the flowing river
On the way home.
Without water there would be no rain
We wouldn’t have umbrellas
And would get soaked through and through.
P.S. I’ve been writing this blog for a long time. You may enjoy this old post, ‘Favorite Sayings’, dated June 8, 2012. Just go to the upper right where the eyeglass is and type in the name.

I love the logic in the idea that if there were no water, there would be no rain, and therefore no umbrellas, and therefore we would get soaked! Makes total sense to me…
You made me laugh out loud Susan: You have to be a real nut to find any logic in this ‘superior’ poem. Ahem. Love ya, Maughm
What are you talking about? It is perfectly obvious that if there were no umbrellas due to the lack of water, you would get wet when it rained! What’s nuts about that???
I see that you, dear dottur, take after your Maughm. You’ve inherited my greatest feature, insanity! Good on you kid! Chuckle. Hugs, feel good.
Hi. Stay dry!
It isn’t possible. It IS still raining here. Regards, Muriel
I love getting drenched in the rain!
I certainly prefer the rain to snow or ice, but it hasn’t stopped for a long time. This, is, after all, a rain forest.
You know me, in the summer, I’ll complain about the heat, and you’ll tell me to stick my head in half a cold watermelon. Chuckle. Love, Muriel
Haha, circularity hilarity. The chicken or the egg in reverse 😊
So glad you got it. I had fun. Thanks for reading. All the best, Muriel
Who needs water!! Haha! I loved your funny take, and absolutely adored your poem!
So glad you got it. How else can I survive all this rain??? Ha, ha. Love, Muriel
I love reading your post! 😊 I hope the rain stops! Too much of everything is not good!
Lately our world is giving us too much of many things. Obviously it is complaining at what we have been doing. Thank you for taking the time to read my post. It pleases me. Take care, Muriel
Oh, my! I just can’t stop smiling as I read along this post. Why do you always make me smile (or laugh on some of your posts)? 😊😊😊 I hope the rain stops. But still, stay dry.
Ah Adelheid: If I succeeded in making you smile or laugh, I’ve accomplished what I intended. I needed to make myself laugh too and I did when I wrote that nonsense. It is still raining, but that’s okay. Cheers, Muriel
Now, this one really made me think…(which is a good thing!) Quite philosophical. And…it’s sunny today, at least for the time being!
I hope it also made you smile. Yes, I had sun for my morning walk, but it is already gone. But, it isn’t raining (yet) so I’m grateful. Stay well, Muriel
Hehe , you are awesome. Loved the poem 🥰
Glad you liked it, I sure had fun writing it. Keep reading. Keep writing. All the best, Muriel
Recently I read that thousands have lived without love but not even one without water. I liked your post 🙂 Regards
Absolutely. Although I played with this silly poem, I do understand the real importance of water. Thank you for reading, thinking about it and your comment. Stay well, Muriel
Well water is essential!!
Although, we would still have umbrellas without water….
Ha, ha. I was just being silly and having fun with this little poem. You’re right. Maybe we’d have umbrellas anyway to protect us from the sun! Have fun every day. Cheers, Muriel
