In and Out

If you want to help defeat Summer's brutal blasts of heat, Do what experts say you oughter, Guzzle lots and lots of water. I imbibe so much each day, Likely more that what I weigh, That, while it's preventing thirst, Part of me's about to burst. Bladders only hold so much And when certain muscles clutch, There must be a quick release If you want to have some peace. My advice when heat's unrolled: Drink as much as you can hold; But be sure you always know The nearest place where you can go!

Hee hee hee!!! This is priceless! In England we call it being 'caught short.' I love 'oughter...water,' and overall your flow and couplet rhyming are superb. BRAVO my dear! Love, Keith :)
