Troof be told I was simply looking for a way to use the word "Jug" in a poem.
There's something so satisfying about saying the phrase "a jug of water."
It's even funner to say out loud.
Try it with me.
A jug of water
A jug of water
A JUGGA WATTA!
A JUGGA WATTA!
I can't stop.

The poem is fine, on any levels , these last couple of lines hide a colloqualism, for knowing would incite perhaps a retort by the one's addressed, like then , why did you even
raise the question? This become an ironic twist, as the whole poem is : and the simple question arises automatically , from the audience : why not?
Sure the whole theatre is sourced in ambiguity and colorlessness, but the absurd character is no less worthy of notice then Becket's waiting for Godot, who is also a stylistic device to form character out of a lack of focused and defined background. The absurdity of the lusterless monotone of a context bring out the despair of the foreground and not the other way around.
Very well done !
