Water, water very where
Devon and Cornwall just
Can’t take any more
Water, water nowhere
When will this drought
Please leave us alone?
The first a very wet Britain
The second a very dry
Province of Buenos Aires
The first sees people
Drowning in water
The second suffocating in sand
But don’t blame God
He sends his rain on
The just and the unjust
He loves us all
Makes no distinction
Between worthy and unworthy
But why can’t he just
Even out the haves and
The have-nots?
