Sink or Swim
While it may seem obvious,
I simply must point out
that what I need for living
is the thing that causes droughts.
When stranded on an island
with this necessity all around
I actually could swim in it
- or even drown!
So if it's there, you say,
what's getting your goat?
Why not soak it up?
And the problem lies
right in the fact that in it I would float.
The necessity, in its truest form
is really very pure.
But surrounding this poor island
it's saltier than the norm!
Alright, alright, what is it?
Tell me quickly, though!
Okay, hold on, I'll tell you.
It's drinking water, don't you know?!
