Shitcreek River

by Pam Ayres

Now river life is dying,
And turning up its feet,
Along the Shitcreek River
Where vapours ain't so sweet,
Where water ain't so crystal clear,
Where sewage oozes down,
Along the Shitcreek River
Where the banks are turning brown.

Farewell sparkling brooklet,
The salmon in the pool,
Good morning pantie-liner,
The tampon and the stool,
Funny that a government,
On thrones of power seated,
Pollutes its joyful waterways,
With sewage left untreated.
