There was poison in the water
And it wasn’t fit to drink;
So we got ourselves together
And we had a little think…
We were told to “just ignore it”
We were told “it’s not so bad”
We were told that sanitation
Was a silly, passing fad
We could just avoid the fountain
We could just avoid the taps,
And the problem would resolve itself
Eventually, perhaps
There are sensible precautions—
Keep your mouth shut as you shower;
If you’re feeling really thirsty,
Maybe boil it for an hour
There are antidotes available
Or so, at least, we’re told,
But they’re getting hard to find these days
And some are rather old
If we get our act together,
We can do it! I can tell…
…And it won’t disturb the fellows
Who are shitting in the well.
My personal interpretation of this is a warning against accomodating theism.
