Water

Water

Why is water so heavy..?
have you carried a bucket
of water..,?
it's like cast iron,
when it ought to
be light an airy,
try a Mellon,
you buy from the store,
get Carpel Tunnel
carrying it out
the door. ..
It's transparent..
But weighs much
more..
I wonder how
clouds can carry raindrops,
or flowers can adorn their selves
in dew,
Or how 70% of my body,
Swells with it so..
no wonder I'm heavy..
it's trickery of H2O..

Water does weigh a lot doesn't it? I weighed myself once, before and after a pee... The difference was astounding. Mind you I was busting to go... I thought I'd do a little experiment, and yes, water is heavy! Yet steam weighs nothing... It can't do, it rises. I know steam is much smaller molecules etc, etc, but it's still water... 🤔 Hmmmmm 🤔 x

Ha ha ha..being me..that's what I think about water .the rolling tides always scared me...I don't like driving over it..( high Bridges) though no one would know...carrying buckets at work full of water, some people fill them with heavy water, I put light water in ( half full) why work too hard carrying the blasted stuff...a simple thing like water and it has so many implications and applications...drip drip drip..that's another feature...lol

🤣🤣🤣 dont get me started on water buckets. Having worked with horses for the good majority of my life I have had a lot of 'incidents' with water buckets. I don't like frozen water much either 😉 x
