7 Mineral Springs
by Bill Allbright
Sulfur Water
from Spring Park
Filling jugs
from dawn 'til dark
Jugs refrigerated
chilly
Help to pacify
poor Billy
Who never did
too much real harm
Who didn't know why
it was served warm
And smelly
like eggs a rottin'
or poison like they
spray on cotton
The coach in High School
Football Camp
Served it warm
(You would not cramp)
He claimed
(I was a teen)
I think he was
just sulfur mean
But...it keeps chiggers
off your skin
And would be friends
and next of kin
Seven sulfurs
my oh my
Red sulfur, Arsentic
and Eye
Seven sulfurs
drink 'em all
Drink just one
or none at all
One thing I cannot
though deny
Those who drink it
don't soon die
