It’s crisp and clear

It can suddenly appear

It’s cold or hot

It’s necessary for a yacht

It’s refreshing and thirst-quenching

Sometimes it’s drenching

It’s cooling in the heat and freezing during sleet

It’s needed to cook and grow and eat

It’s fun at the beach and slick on the slopes

It’s great for the skin and rinsing fragrant soaps

It’s colorless, odorless and tasteless too

But without it, what would we do?
