Robert Charles Howard - The PH Factor

Is this poem safe to drink?
Unsure - need to run some tests:
Got to get the PH straightened out
Or perhaps an imaging scan is required.

Pour in a syllable of acid
Or take away two.
Hmm - better take another sample.
Oops, way too base!

A new title, perhaps? Say:
“Acidic and Alkaline Balance
On the See Saw of Life”
Yuck!

Hold on, don’t go away,
I’ll get right back to you!

Robert Charles Howard
