Start the Day With a Smile

This week I'll post poems that will make us smile and laugh. 

Heard any good poems lately?    

I Took a Sip of Water

I took a sip of water,

a second sip, a cup.

I filled a tumbler to the brim

and drank that glass right up.

I guzzled down a gallon, 

a gallon is a lot,

but noticed that the more I drank,

the thirstier I got.

I drank a quart of lemonade,

I drank a quart of juice,

I drank a quart of chocolate milk,

It wasn't any use.

I found a dozen sodas

and quickly drank them all,

I felt that I could drink a creek,

a lake, a waterfall.

My body kept expanding,

it seemed about to burst,

and yet I couldn't manage

to satisfy my thirst.

Now I've become so bloated,

I can't fit through the door--

I'm fairly certain I will not

eat sponges anymore.
