The Three Lakes

This lake
It is so deep
My legs couldn't touch the bottom
I am drowning.

Help me,

Thank you sir
But your lake sir,
though not as deep
is still drowning me.

Help me,

No not you
Not your lake sir
More shallow than the first
But deeper than the last

Help me.

may not be deeper than the first lake, but possibly be more dangerous...

Yes, I should have said that Nessie is there but I wanted only 4 lines. Glad you got it. On the dot.

Cikgu,
The second lake is polluted beyond description. Only one of their own kind can survive in it.
