Water Cycle poem

The glass of water I am about to drink

Deserves a second thought I think

For while I am full of thirst

Consider where it came from first.

It could have been a dinosaur’s bath

A million years ago

Then swam away in a ravenous river

To see where it could go.

The water traveled oh so far

All the way to the sea

But Sun made it evaporate

Now what will it be?

As water vapor it flies so high

But soon begins to cool

It condensates into a cloud

So heavy it starts to drool.

The cloud cries tears of rain so hard

They precipitate all over the place

Then fearful of just where they’ll land

They make a funny face.

The raindrops land on the hardened ground

But soon Earth has gobbled them up

All of their friends end up in my well

And now that water’s in my cup!!
