When I was a child
My grandmother would laugh.
I would drink water with chocolate cake
Rather than with milk from a calf.

Water is my favorite drink
and so quenches my thirst.
It is so smooth and pure
and I would choose it first.

It comes from a bottle or faucet
Slinks down my throat and restores.
It’s so good for my body
and helps with my skin and my pores.

Instead of reaching for a soda
choose the healthy H2O.
You will feel much better
And your face will glow.
