Drink's not neutral, a loaded word
Sounds very bad or really good
'You don't drink enough water, dear'
Or 'more alcohol than you should'
A vital drink is refreshing
Eases sports injuries and pains
Too much, even water, is bad
A little seems good and gives gains
What helps a hedgehog to survive?
Milk helps newborn babes stay alive
Champagne for new year, wedding toasts
On hot days water helps revive
Signs say bring water on the train
Carry a drink to run or walk
I don't think I need to explain
A drink, like tea, is shared with talk
I don't write this to earn a fee
Just to sip and smile, feel jolly
Merely to amuse you and me
While we drink our daily coffee.
