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?
