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!
