None of That City Water For Them

None of that City Water for Them By Elton Camp We have friends who tap water won’t drink They complain about both its taste and stink Instead of using the public water supply To get it from a spring or well they try The spring on the edge of town many thrill They don’t see the septic tanks on the hill Some spend to have their own well drilled From it, keep their drinking vessels filled But it hasn’t been treated with chlorine The danger of that they haven’t yet seen The neighbor’s hog pen they don’t see Nor when his sons go outside to pee Now I prefer what comes out of the pipe For I have found no reason at all to gripe
