Runs Dry

You certainly miss,
Your well when,
The water runs dry.
All of the while,
The water dripped,
And ran.
You didn’t understand,
That water that you
Had was a limited resource,
A universal solvent.
Time went on, 
As a result of,
The earth revolving.
You added heat,
To make the,
Water evaporate.
Now you realize,
That you made, 
A big mistake.
It’s too late.
You certainly,
Don’t miss, 
Your well, 
Until the water,
Runs dry.
