I need a wee

Water haunts

My ears

& my lips


No smell

No taste


An adult drink


But I’ve brought

A new bottle

to trick my brain


It has a straw...

To stop it being mundane


I gulp and I swallow

Like a hamster in a cage

With an upside-down straw

Guzzling it down with rage


Then at the end of a

Water filled day

I collapse into bed and drown into my duvet


Closing my eyes &

Feeling super proud

Until the fish tank next to my pillow

Drips and drops

So loud


After I’d drank the recommended amount

I sigh

Get up

& piss it all out
