A Drink

by Jeffrey Parren

I began saying "beverages"
at lunch especially
because apparently
saying drinks
involves alcohol
and too many times
I find myself annoyed:

"What can I get you
to drink today?"

"Man it's only Monday!"

(Insert laugh here)

And then of course
there is always:

"Nothing to drink for me,
but I will have an Iced Tea."

Not to understate
the obvious
but you are getting
something to drink
if you are getting
an Iced Tea.

When did drink
assume with alcohol?

Did I not get
the memo?

I wonder about that, too. Heh.
