Oh, no! Did you drink Arkansas River Water That Nestle conveniently bottled for you? Did they indicate on the label which stream it was from? One in which the local gentry had recently swum With their dogs, pigs and mules during their latest dought? When the outhouse tipped over and drained itself out? Did Nestle screen out most sewage in the bottling process Did what got past them affect the taste? Nestle brags that with their brand of privatization Not a single drop can possibly go to waste. More healthful they claim than what comes from the tap? If so does that warrant their markup of 2000%? Bathe or do dishes with their bottled water And start to wonder where your budget went. And unless you refrigerate it, the stuff usually is hotter Than from underground pipes like your local tap water. Clogging landfills with plastic is Nestle's "green" contribution? Tap water users avoid that kind of pollution. Isn't it time to legislate a strict cap On how much they can pollute? Let's get back to the tap!
