The Lonesome Ballad of H2O

The Ballad of H2O (International Version) He reached his boiling point at one hundred degrees. When he dropped to zero, he would freeze. Everything he did, he did just like he oughter, (in Centigrade) - that's water! The Ballad of H2O (US Version) Arriving at two-twelve Fahrenheit, his roiling bubbles gave steaming flight, but descending South to thirty-two, he froze in his tracks. What could he do?

What a refreshing Poem of the Day! No pun intended. Water is the muse that brews. The inspiration of perspiration. The life-force of your water-course. The presence you may clap or hate but destined to evaporate. The molecule of hot to cool.. I could do this all day. Congratulations. Blessings S:) x

Haha, yep - being in a cloud might be fun. BTW, I just corrected the freezing point in Centigrade - old habits die hard.
