I'm in an awful quandary,
And don't know what to do,
'TWiXt doctors and scientists
I'm III a fearful stew.
The doctors say spring water
Is spreading dire disease.
That death will surely overtake
The man who disagrees
The scientist has analysed
The water from the main,
And says if he would save our health
We from il must refrain.
Some say that cistern water
VIII never do to drink;
That it is fun of wiggle tails,
Which makes me stop and think.
] am not fond of wine and beer,
And If ! was. / am sure
Some doctor would bob up and say
Give him the LIQUOR cure.
Now. if someone viii kindly tell
How / may quench my thirst
/ may escape a dreadful death,
If not, l fear the worst.
