When I'm out in the rain or by the sea feeling thirsty, I always say, "Water water everywhere, nor any drop to drink!" :smile:

I often find myself saying, "Alone alone, all, all alone, Alone on a wide wide sea". Not sure why it just sticks in my head so I shall be quoting that often in my exam along with "killeth the pious bird of good omen"
