Country Sipping and Dipping

Posted on February 12, 2012 | 7 Comments

The well is deep but the water’s sweet
And the bucket includes a ladle
In case you just want a sip
Or have some for the table

The water’s ice cold so unless your bold
I’d heat some for that bath
And whoever puts some down your back
Had better watch out for your wrath

Lol. Well said! A ladle of cold water down the back would likely incur just about ANYone’s wrath, methinks.

  There’s just something about well water that always seems colder than all the rest.

  Water snakes? Doesn’t sound like something I’d want anything to do with.
