Prayer for drought-ridden 10822-Villages

Happy to be 'Shame-less' than Water-less

Not three-sweets in three-plates, I eat in one-plate

To save water, Happy I'm to be 'shame-less'

No hotel-boy who pours full-glass, I fill my own glass 

Good to be 'shame-less' than Water-less

No running-water from tap, I tap a bowl
Fun to be 'Shame-less' than Water-less

'Shame-less' me, a 3-R-brat,

I Reuse-Reduce-Recycle (3R) even on a party-mat.

Thrilled I'm to be 'shame-less' than Water-less

A miser for water from 9-to-5 to 5-to-Nine
Be it 'Mine' or from a Swine
I Pray all be 'shame-less' than Water-less
