I’m slick as a whisper, I splash and I slide, With paws full of tools and a fish by my side. I float on my back in the sun-dappled water, If you've never met me, well, you really should.

Change my first, and I’m a hardened substance that may have ancient insects or plants in it. Add a letter instead, and I become a person that belongs to a group. Make sure you throw water on me when you’re done. Smokey says only you can prevent forest fires!

An endless flow, A boundless river, I crumble empires, I stumble kings, before my might, even the mightiest quiver

One of me is so very tiny, but together we form a vst tapestry. If you let us reign free, we cover entire cities, not just a tree. Most of the time, the sun is our strife, On shade and morning dew we thrive.

I’m all about hip-HOP I croak out tunes sitting at my pad at the light of the moon. Eating is one of my favorite things. My snacks often have wings and are always found nearby. Isn’t that fly?
