Dirty Water

Dirty, leaden, murky, yet oh so sublime 
Please give me a glass or cup full with a splash of lime

When I awaken early in the dawn 
After washing my face and a big yawn 

A hollow stomach after a night of fasting 
Nothing better than a dirty, dirty cleansing, long-lasting 

Like Batman and Robin fighting crime in Gotham City 
Kalonji and Methi supremely fighting the bad guys in the human body 

Cancer-fighting, stronger teeth, and better skin and hair 
Toxins getting evicted, improved digestion, and good health everywhere 

So a little dirty, dirty is fine with me 
Just cleaning up my health so that I'm unencumbered and free
