Hydrophobics Poem - The waters chased him as he fled, by Emily Dickinson (* http://famouspoetsandpoems.com)

The waters chased him as he fled,
Not daring look behind --
A billow whispered in his Ear,
"Come home with me, my friend --
My parlor is of shriven glass,
My pantry has a fish
For every palate in the Year" --
To this revolting bliss
The object floating at his side
Made no distinct reply
