There's a Whole In My Bucket
There's a whole in my bucket
There is a hole in my bucket, and I can't use it.
It's not the whole bucket that has a hole otherwise it would not exist.
If there were many holes in the bucket, you could say it was a holey bucket
but that would not make it a holy bucket.
That would only be used for a special purpose like worship.
But who really needs a holy bucket anyways?
Who needs a holey bucket? No one!
A whole bucket of water would be good,
but obviously if there was a lot of holes that would not make it holey water as the water would leak out, it would not be holy water either as it would be dirty as it fell to the ground.
See the problem?
