Sense Sonnet - Chiller

Watered Down

Some raft the rapids just for fun,
Nature's own roller coaster ride.
Experts know how it should be done,
But some get hurt and some have died.
But one day too soon rapids will
With less fresh water slow then stop.
No more for funseekers to spill.
The Earth will dry up drop by drop.
Experts know there is time to fix,
By changing water wasting ways.
But wasting time in politics
Means fresh water has numbered days.

Here's hoping politicians go
On rapids rafting - doncha know!
