The Well and Its Water

The well and its water
I bought a well from a man 
From my neighbourhood 
But he prevented me 
From it to take out water 
Saying that he sold the well 
But not the content it has inside 
Then I passed two days thinking 
How to solve this imbroglio
The moment I stumbled 
With a piece of a broken brick 
Suddenly I found the solution 
Now the well is mine alone 
Then why I should keep 
The water of its owner for free
I should charge him by litter 
Out witted the man was 
And kept him mum 
For rest of the time 
Until I set running water pipe line.
