17. Water

Day 17: Water

Here is my ode to water written in a fine selection of well thought out and highly contemplated couplets. Cheers :)

My Arch Nemesis

Water water I hate you,
and 8 glasses a day I have to get through.

 I know I must drink you every day,
but I wish you would just go away.

I’m not a naturally thirsty girl;
drinking so much makes me hurl.

But I force you down my throat all day;
the doctor says I must this way.

“Your body needs to stay hydrated,
it especially helps when you’re constipated.”

I chug you fast to get it done,
but that just makes me have to run…

To the bathroom, you see what you do to me?
You make me constantly have to pee.

If you don’t drink water its sure to enforce,
especially when you’re pregnant, a big Charlie horse.

You have no flavor and add no flare -
You’re literally like drinking liquid air.

I love coke, milk, and juices and wine
if I don’t drink water I think I’d be fine.

It’s good for my body, yes I know that’s true
but I’d rather walk with a tack in my shoe.

8 glasses a day is out of control
but for you baby boy, I make it a goal…

to drink 8 glasses a day to make sure you are healthy
but after this kid is out, I’m drinking a soda. Ha!
