Milk
I´ve
been on this forever.
If I were to count the days of my life without
milk in them,
I probably wouldn´t reach a month.
A little thicker,
so you can feel it going down your throat,
sipping huge gulps.
It makes the throat a bit slimy,
doesn´t flow as easily as water.
Water leaves the taste of what I just ate unharmed.
Milk mixes with it, adding its own taste to
everything.
Taking the sharp edge of the sweet, but leaving the
good part.
It refreshes my tongue, renews my throat. Makes it
ready for another bite.
I like my milk cold. Restaurants are often bad at
that.
They always give you the milk in a glass instead of a
package or a bottle. More than often it´s tepid
already.
I used to be a bit annoyed with that.
The beer always comes icy-cold.
The wine is opened before your eyes, and you get to
try it out first.
Milk you say?
Well, throw the boy a glass.
Milk´s natural. And it´s also good for you, which is
more than can be said about most drinks.
It should have a higher priority.
Not the best thirst-quencher.
But it always satisfies.
And I always start my day with it.
