HOOKED
ON H2O
"Water is the wet stuff that falls out of the sky. Boffins call
it precipitation. When it's on the ground it's called a creek or a river
and, when it's in the sky, it's called a cloud. And when it’s hard
it’s called ice.
Kipling, Keats and Shakespeare wrote about it. Elmer Gantry prayed for
it, Hollywood made endless movies about it and, years ago, I had a buxom
neighbour who liked to rip her clothes off and dance in it...but that’s
another story." |
