      Or, far more likely, you let the hot water sit for a few days. The red is rust from the inside of the pipe.

      ACK!

        Go and take a shower at your landlord's.

          I blame the allies in '45 for not honoring their alliance agreement with Poland and kicking out the other invader in '39, the Soviet Union. If the allies had lived up to their alliance, Poland would have been freed in '45 and their economy would be like western europe, not like Mongolia, and the water would clean for Heresson's shower.

              They probably use that in the less developed parts of the world.

                        What should I chose? My own dirty smell, or the smell of this water?

                          btw, I used to make poems. Like this one:

                          I glupi i durny znow
                          tych dawnych niepomny zdarzen
                          od cudzych i obcych snow
                          do wlasnych powracam marzen

                          and so again, dumb and foolish,
                          neglecting the past events,
                          I desert someone else's dreams
                          and come back to my own ones

                          I used to write that when I was 18-19. Please note the effort made: not only are there rhymes, but there's rythme:

                          * @* * @* *
                          * @* *@* @*
                          * @* * @* *
                          * @* *@* @*

                          Of course, it's not perfect, but almost. The rythme stays the same.
                          * - normal syllabe except for 1-syllabe words
                          @ - accented syllabe
                          I may be wrong though, because there are enclitics or whatever, not-accented syllabes that nominally should be accented, but it's higher magic level of polish language and I'm skipping it. General rule is that unless it is 1-syllabe word or a foreign loanword, the accent goes on the second syllabe from the end.

                          this is a very short poem, but I like it. It took me just a couple of minutes coming back from church to make it.
