In a land of drinks so fine,
Where liquids flow like a vine,
There are many choices, oh so grand,
From water pure to beer so bland.

Water, clear and cool as ice,
Quenches thirst and tastes so nice,
It’s the simplest drink you’ll find,
And it’s perfect for your mind.

Coffee, dark and rich and strong,
A beverage that can’t go wrong,
It’s a drink for grown-ups, true,
But it’s good for moms and dads too.

Juice, made from fruits so sweet,
A drink that kids just can’t beat,
It’s a tasty and healthy treat,
And it’s perfect for a summer heat.

Wine, a drink for those who’re grown,
But only when they’re on their own,
It’s a fancy drink for some,
But it’s not for kids, not one by some.

Beverage, a fancy word for sure,
It’s a drink that’s clean and pure,
It could be any drink you like,
But just make sure you take a hike.

Milk, a drink from cows we get,
It’s a beverage that we’ll never forget,
It’s a drink that makes us strong,
And it’s perfect all day long.

Tea, a drink from faraway,
It’s a drink we love to say,
It’s a drink that’s hot and sweet,
And it’s perfect for a cold winter treat.

Beer, a drink for when we’re grown,
It’s a beverage that’s well-known,
It’s a drink that dads will have,
But it’s not for kids, not even a tad.

So many drinks to choose from here,
Each one perfect, oh so dear,
From water pure to beer so grand,
In this land of drinks so grand.
