It's Not Just The Bad Taste
(It's the plastic we hate)

Pennsylvania in a bind? Can it afford Nestle's bottled water
Where the mark up exceeds two thousand percent?
But it's regular tap water is apt to explode
So if they bill Nestle extra it won't cause a dent.

Don't tax the consumer, instead tax the bottler
For every bottle of water they manage to sell.
And don't let Nestle charge them a bottle deposit.
Make Nestle buy back and take away those plastic bottles from Hell.

Put a cap on what Nestle's bottled water can cost
So the increase in price to the consumer's not only not large.
    It's nonexistent!
And for all water bottlers so nobody's left out.
We'd call it the "nonexistent Nestle tap water charge".

Make sure Nestle's "commission" on each state's tap water
Is less than the state's tax on Nestle, just as it oughter.
Then there'll be no need for North Carolina's
    tax on fuel miserly cars
,
Or need for a move to plastc bottle free Mars.
