Come on now; let’s go fetch some water <br />grab a pail in each hand and let’s go. <br />Down the hill, to the pond in the holler, <br />then we’ll climb back up the hill with that water! <br /> <br />Everyone today has forgotten <br />what it’s like to haul water in a pail. <br />Every house must have a Jacuzzi, <br />and a big swimming pool, as well. <br /> <br />Come on now; let’s go fetch some water <br />grab a pail in each hand and let’s go. <br />Down the hill, to the pond in the holler, <br />then we’ll climb back up the hill with that water! <br /> <br />And our homes must have a green lawn <br />to keep it looking really good! <br />The water we waste on that green grass <br />could be used by the farmer to grow food. <br /> <br />Come on now; let’s go fetch some water <br />grab a pail in each hand and let’s go. <br />Down the hill, to the pond in the holler, <br />then we’ll climb back up the hill with that water! <br /> <br />Don’t waste all of that precious water. <br />We have worked too hard to bring it here. <br />We can’t live without that precious water <br />let’s be thankful that it is so near. <br /> <br />Come on now; let’s go fetch some water <br />grab a pail in each hand and let’s go. <br />Down the hill, to the pond in the holler, <br />then we’ll climb back up the hill with that water! <br /> <br />Don’t be taking the water from the farmer <br />without it his crops will never grow. <br />All of life depends upon the water <br />Don’t take it for granted anymore. <br /> <br />Come on now; let’s go fetch some water <br />grab a pail in each hand and let’s go. <br />Down the hill, to the pond in the holler, <br />then we’ll climb back up the hill with that water!<br /><br />Emma Beverage<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/fetching-water/
