Okay, so it doesn’t rhyme, but you get the point, eh?
Everything we use ends up in the water
So if we want to keep our heads above water
Before we are all in hot water
and we don’t want to end up like fish out of water
Then it’s time to test the waters and
Protect our watering holes
because water contamination is not water under the bridge,
and water conservation and preservation are imperative:
a watershed for the health, welfare, and Economy of our collective.
Happy Earth Day, folks. I hope this trip around the sun leaves us more peaceful, more compassionate, and more environmentally aware — just like our Mother wants.
