if you live in central texas you know all about
water conservation
even though we got a lot of rain in this area this
weekend the lakes that serve as the major
water supply werent helped as much as
not much water fell on the rivers and streams
above the lakes
it mostly fell on the wrong side of the dams
i am always preaching water conservation
recently a friend and reader of this blog sent
me a poem she wrote about this
ode to organicgreen doctor
that dang organicgreen doctor-hes got me
thinkin bout the drain
and how the water going down
wont be coming back around
like when im in a comfy shower
i shouldnt stand there half an hour
and even when i shave my legs
his voice inside my head will beg
turn off the tap water abuser
be a conscious water user
when friends are at the kitchen sink
i stare at the faucet and i think
how can i say and be polite
close that water valve real tight
no wonder they wont spend the night
theyll get into a water fight
i look around the parched dry yard
and think why must this be so hard
the hostas or the lenten rose
which one deserves the water hose
already in the midst of drought
i guess thats what its all about
that dang organicgreen doctor hes got me
thinkin bout the drain
and how the water going down
wont be coming back around
thanks susan
we all should take note
the organicgreen doctor
