“Boil the water”, they said, those strange humans who came.
“Boil the water to stay safe,” that was their claim.
The creatures were strange, the creatures were odd.
They had a head, but it had no pod.
They had two legs, not five as they ought,
And two arms which we have, but much too short.
Their skin was soft, their bodies lumpy,
Even their faces were excessively bumpy.
They came from the stars, or that’s what they claimed,
They came from the stars with wonders all tamed.
They showed us the water, they showed us tiny beings,
All wriggling away, those unseeable things.
They told us those things could make us sick,
They told us those creatures could make us die.
Then they showed us that boiling the water
Killed all the tiny creatures, it was a s*******r.
The proof was right
