23h
I drink tea, like its going out of fashion
Nothing dietary,
must keep up my hydration
Two thousand litres a day
Or a UTI is the price we pay
Even out parents laughed,
as it's something they never taught you
You'll be fine with milk and Capri-Sun,
As they sat back supping their brew
Now we keep on trend,
Not to be talk of the town
Ten thousand steps at best
Just to achieve that invisible,
personal crown
Have we become so boring,
In achieving life's extremities
As being told by a man we've never met,
These are now life's necessities?

How needy we have become as a race of people.
