Douglas Adams was one of the greatest satirical writers of our times.  He was pretty constantly presenting things in a way that points out how ludicrous much of our beliefs and actions are.  And he did it in a very funny way.  You might enjoy his books, like  The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy (1979), <b>The Restaurant at the End of the Universe</b> (1980), <b>Life, the Universe and Everything</b> (1982),  <b>So Long, and Thanks for All the Fish</b> (1984), and others.  All exquisitely silly on one level and perhaps profound on another.  I highly recommend them.

But you are correct about a puddle that suddenly became sentient and verbal.  It might have said just about anything.
