Ode to My Water Bottle

Ode to My Water Bottle
Kimmy Cohen

Ode to my water bottle.

Your purple shell is what I hold,

You help me stay hydrated all of the time,

Your water always stays fresh and cold.

Ode to my water bottle.

I carry you around throughout the day.

You are useful, yet extremely fashionable,

And I would cry if you were ever taken away.

Ode to my water bottle.

When I misplace you, I feel so depressed.

I get scared I have lost you, and you will never be found,

But when I do, I realize I’m blessed.

Ode to my water bottle.

At the gym, my best friend is you.

When my thirst happens to be rising,

You never fail to know exactly what to do.

Ode to my water bottle.

Without your presence, how did I manage?

With you, I am completely a whole,

But without you, I’m at a disadvantage.
