Retaw

What follows the river, but goes nowhere, Lives under the trees, and in the air Yet you see it here, you see it there, Oh yes, You see it everywhere. I don’t know that it is, I don’t know that it isn’t. Hide your eyes, and its back in an instant. It is as smooth as glass, but rough as can be. It flies so high yet never moves, Yet moves so fast, In the groves. It falls down, then goes up. What’s that in your cup. Now I know that just gave it away, Oh darn oh darn, it’s here to stay, But this is good ,cause it aint bad, Think of all the fun we’ve had. You think you know it, Come now please show it. It’s as red as wine, it is as black as coffee, What oh what can it be. You can feel it when it falls You can feel it when it rises You can feel it when it surprises. We need it to grow, We need it to snow. We need it to help the rivers flow. Now I know you must have it, And I am not trying to hide it, Maybe. So what oh what can it be? Well excuse me, But I must go pee. Ah ha now we know it, But it is not, Just similar to the lot. Now I must go and help it flow. But the answer I will tell you, In backwards form, So you cant look at it, And cause us harm. Retaw is it’s name, And yes it has so much fame. It causes destruction. It causes construction. It is something we cannot live without. So now you know it and you don’t need to pout.
