Water

by Noah Sitaula-Adhikari

What is water?
Is it something you drink?
Why do you even have to drink?!
Can’t you just drink Fanta!!?
Or is it a sword?
It sounds like one!
Who was even the first person to see water!!!
Why does it sound weird!!
Can you ride it!
Water, water you hear it everywhere!!!
Can you jump on it?
Is it human!!
Or creature!
I don’t know what water is!!!!!
