Notes About The Poem

Short Sighted Dr Charlie

A short sighted old doctor called Charlie
Poured water from a bottle to make tea
But the taste wasn't right 
Got one hell of a fright
On close inspection the bottle said pee...

He called the opticians to book a test 
Rinsed his mouth out then headed home to rest 
Now sets good examples
Marks clinical sample's
Storing all those nasties in a locked chest...

Now you don't want to end up like Charlie 
By error drinking someone else's pee
Well it is human waste
You just wont like the taste 
And you'll be sick as a dog, believe me...

I think you're right, it's pouring down now, to be honest we've been lucky this winter, Those whose houses get flooded out is who I feel sorry for.
