Unholy water

Dolphins, porpoises and a whale
From time to time
Explore the river
Upstream to Canary Wharf

Would you go further
Knowing how filthy
Old Father Thames has become?

Pity the seals
Who went further and made it
As far as Richmond
Where they live
Happy as pigs in our shit

n.b. Another fine mess brought to you as part of Thatcher’s Legacy, profit pursuing private water services. Thames Water plc admits to having ‘sweated the assets’, meaning taking profit before investing in replacing Victorian era urban plumbing, so now e-coli thrives in the river.
