Don't Drink the Rain ?

LarrWayne Po
Don't drink the rain,
Says the water salesman.
Don't you know,
It is bad for you?
Didn't you go to school?

Yes, I did
And it figures,
That would dig into your profit.
Where do water salesmen get water?

We get water from lakes and streams
And make it fit for you to drink.

How do lakes and streams get water?

From various sources,
But throw away your rain;
It is bad for you.
Take my word for it.
Have you never had acid rain explained?

Yes,
And it falls into lakes and streams too

Doesn't it?
Who says, it does?
I do.
Don't raise such a fuss.

I can put liquid bleach in water
To kill germs,
Just like you.

You didn't learn that at school.
You are right.
Censorship is working,
I guess

For the water salesmen too.

Rumor has it, one ounce of liquid bleach per gallon, kills germs like chlorine added to city water does. It has also been rumored some city water suppliers use bleach instead of chlorine. Of course boiling water is another way to kill germs.

The rumors mentioned in the above paragraph are probably facts, but researching the facts with verified sources, would delay the publishing of this content. So drink at your own risk, if that is your choice, or research the matter yourself.

    Believing it's bad for you makes it even worse.
