Don’t Drink from the Piss Pot
Even if your waters been cut off it’s vile and dirty
Don’t Drink from the Piss Pot
Don’t drink from the piss pot,
no, really, don’t do that.
This isn’t a grey area,
it’s a hard no, end of chat.
If you’re thirsty to that level,
you’ve made some poor life turns.
Even the dog walked past it,
and that creature eats worms.
One sip would end your dignity,
your pride would leave the room.
Your stomach would file for bankruptcy,
your tongue would sue your mouth by noon.
People would not be sympathetic,
they’d pause, then slowly blink.
Then ask you very quietly,
why did you think to drink?
History would not be kind here,
no medals, no brave tale.
Just you and a terrible choice,
and friends who will never let it fail.
So frame this rule and keep it,
write it somewhere you’ll spot.
When all else feels confusing,
don’t drink from the piss pot.

Good advice Miss Marie, but there are times of desperation for some that just probably will have to do such a thing like it or not in this day and age.
It’s like an art I made. Don’t be so thirsty to drink from poisoned cup.
