It Doesn't Really Matter!



There's not much water in the tub
Not even when its full!
But that will never be "the rub"
For those whose life feels dull.

A pond is usually quite small
If you compare that pond
To any lake beneath a squall
As well when rain moves on.

An ocean is the biggest one.
The others can't compare,
Especially if you are shunned:
It hides the tears you wear!
