Cool Summer’s Drink

We all like a cool summer’s  drink.

One low in calories,

And high in satisfaction,

It cost little.

A way of getting trace elements,

Into your diet,

In this busy world,

When nutrition might be uncertain.

Cut one lemon into a few pieces.

And do the same with a lime,

Or an orange;

And a cucumber too,

Or whatever is available.

You can add a sprig

Of mint or some such thing,

Many fine tastes

Can be discovered,

If you look around.

Place these in a large jar

Fill with water

And drink

As you please.

Refill as needed

On a hot summer’s day
