don't go near the water

it's a news
flash.
don't go near the river.
don't drink
the water.
don't take a shower,
or bathe.
a pipe has broken.
a main line
sewage
pipe,
as wide as a road
has snapped
and a new river
is in the old
river.
no swimming, no
fishing,
no
ice skating or
kayaking.
put your boat on land
if you can.
wear a mask,
a scuba
suit,
a helmet, and an
oxygen tank.
bathe yourself
in rubbing alcohol,
use wipes.
not to worry says
the mayor,
the governor,
the senator and congressman.
in nine months,
all will be wonderful
again.
