By James A.
St. Marguerite d'Youville Secondary School
Brampton
Pity upon my soul for the water is wicked
With the sadness and the pain it has caused me
I wallow in my self pity for the pain OH THE PAIN
Water, water, water OH WHAT TROUBLE AND PAIN
I stink, I smell, I am not clean because water is MY enemy
The thought of now bathing in water IRKS MY NERVES
The bringer of life and water brings life
But water can cure my uncleanliness
Wash me down, but kill me first
Water is soooooooooooooooooo wicked,
IT IRKS MY NERVES.
