Five A Day

I’ve heard it said we should have five a day 
If healthy is how we desire to stay
I’ve planned my diet and so I can say
I’ll get five a day and I’ll be okay

I’ve ordered a cocktail with cherries in
And asked for some lemon - sliced - in my gin
My Bloody Mary with tomato juice
Has vodka, with olives put to good use

That’s how I’ll stay fit and live forever
Five a day’s easy, if you play clever
But you’re looking smug, “That’s just four,” you say 
Well I’m not missing my quota today

Check out the bartender and you will see
I’ve ordered a strawberry daiquiri
