Write a rhyming poem for children about the water quality problems in Lake Rotokauri.

In a land where the Kiwis roam,
Lies a lake, Rotokauri, a home,
To many creatures, big and small,
But something's wrong, it's not as it should be at all.

The water once clear, now it's not,
A problem that's hard to ignore,
Pollution has crept in the door,
And the lake's health is in store.

The fish once swam, now they can't,
Their scales are dull, their movements halt,
The water's murky, it's a trap,
A sad sight for the eyes to see, a gap.

But there's hope, there's always a way,
To clean the water, to wash it away,
We can work together, day by day,
To make the lake bright, to make it stay that way.

Let's plant trees, let's take care,
Of our water, of our air,
Let's educate, let's share,
The love for our land, for our fair share.

So come on, my friends, let's take a stand,
For our lake, for our land,
Together we'll make a plan,
To keep Rotokauri grand.
The water in Lake Rotokauri's so polluted,
It's making the fish all quite ill.
The water's murky, it's disgusting,
It's time to do something and stop it quick!

The cause of this mess is quite clear,
It's the runoff from the farms nearby.
It's filled with pesticides and herbicides,
And it's not good for the fish or the sea.

So let's all do our part,
And help the lake get better.
It's the only way to make sure,
That our water is clean and healthy.

Let's keep our water clean and pure,
And make sure it's safe for everyone.
It's the only way to make sure,
That our water is clean and healthy.
