Water

Fungi and reeds growing in the seas.
A jaguar slashing about in the rivers.
Water droplets playing with damp fungi and moss.
Mermaids swimming in the hot summer days and attracting sailors.
Passing by whales making huge tidal waves and drowning people.
The tiny people of Gulliver’s Travels getting pulled and washed away in the tide.
Rainforests being given water and the moss being damp, wet, and moist.
But as long as I know water will always be water.
