Getting the Drinks

Mom is buying burgers,

And she said, “Now listen, son,

I want you to go fill

The soda cups for everyone.”

They have so many choices

That I’ll have to stop and think.

I gotta make sure everybody

Gets the perfect drink!

Joey might like root beer,

’Cause his parents never buy it.

Dad will just want water,

’Cause he says he’s on a diet.

Grandpa only likes iced tea

Because he’s from the South.

Grandma says that lemonade’s

A party in her mouth!

And I just can’t make up my mind.

It’s such a giant cup!

It seems a shame to choose one flavor—

Time to mix things up!

I will have a Dr.-Diet-

Mister-Seven-Cream-

Wild-Cherry-Lemon-Lime-Root-Cola-

Moutain-Burst-Extreme!

On top of that, Vanilla-Mocha-

Grape-Up-Orange-Drink,

And something weird that smells like purple,

Even though it’s pink.

And finally, to top things off,

Some fruit-punch and a straw.

The greatest drink and fattest, fullest

Cup I ever saw!

My soda cup is filled so high

I don’t know what to do!

I’ll pour some into Mom’s cup,

’Cause I bet she’ll want some too!
