THE SIP
Momma said, "Git yer own glass
you'll git germs and catch yer death."
But she was a grownup
and I wanted to be big
so I snuck a sip
a sweet sip
from her glass
while she wasn't looking.
She was right.
I caught my death from her
but also life
and growing up
and growing wise
and growing old
from just one sip
one sweet sip
