don't drink the water until six tonight

don't drink
the water
the news man says.
it's gone
bad.
it's toxic.
there might be lead in it.
chemicals
from the train
spill.
the nuke plant is leaking
plutonium.
acid rain
has topped off
the reservoir.
don't drink it, don't
take a bath in it,
don't swim.
don't brush your teeth
with it.
don't give any to your pets,
or water
your plants.
but by six tonight
all will
be well.
