The stinky water chant

Stinky water, stinky water
all around

Stinky water, stinky water
makes me frown

Stinky water, stinky water
in my town

stinky water, stinky water
please go down

adagio

One would think you live in Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan! Definately the worst water in our province I've ever had . . . it has floaties in it.

It's nice to read something light-hearted.

An apocalyptical chant.
A terrible situation, no doubt.

Love,

adagio...I know what you mean, I went thru Camille in 69 and everything had a terrible smell about it you never forget.
The best thing is too burn it or throw it away...Paul

Please keep that chanting head of yours above the contaminated, stinky waters!

I admire your spirit. It must be like Hell down there. Wishing you all the best.

Hugs with love,
Linda

So it's getting to you too, eh?

Don't drink the stuff Ralph.

We've got our eye on Rita now. Had planned to go back this week, but I just heard this storm has 15 projected paths. At least we can head north from here if need be.

I'm homesick tho, but glad to hear you are maintaining your humor.

Not sure where you posted that from, but if it's the Westbank, sweetie, I'm not gambling on the levees ever again. Get outta there.

Love you bro. Stay safe.

I'm so sorry about what happened to your beautiful city! I was just there not a week before the hurricane hit, and now it is so surreal to think that everything is under "stinky water". *sniff
Keep your chin up! (no pun intended)
