You cannot lie nude and soak in the salt pools that eddy
Off the southern coast of France any more,
And it's not because the landscape has changed,
Or the regulatory nature of some bureaucratic administration,

But some bad idea of a greedy CEO
Has polluted the water there,
So you don't dare put a callous toe in,
Much less some tender private area
That would shrivel quickly under the weight of carcinogens.
