The elements

Water is wet and fire is hot
Earth can be seen and air cannot
The elements of our planet are mysterious
But at the same time a very serious

Water makes floods, storms and hail
But it really helps when you’re trying to sail
Fire burns buildings, trees and plants
It kills everything from elephants to ants

Earth is plants, dirt, mud and sand
In other words it covers the whole land
Air is the wind pushing clouds across the sky
It makes it a lot easier for flying things to fly

In conclusion I would just like to say
That the elements had better not go away
