Wicked Water
Faucet water,
At the Wappinger Falls
Natural poison,
Gets our galls,
When first here,
No one warned me,
Two months on the toilet
and I finally could see
Don't drink the water,
It's nasty stuff
They give us reports,
From chemical anaylizers
Our water is pristine they claim,
As they drink their Poland Springs
Will showering in this water,
Melt me away?
I don't know,
No one will say....
Maybe I'll melt,
Like the Witch in the
Wizard of Oz,
I don't much care,
And that's because;
I'll video tape my showers,
My melting will be on tape,
Hopefully my heirs
Will make the jury gape,
More money for my brood,
To bad too late I understood.
