TOXIC TEA

Lord what fools these mortals be,
just look at them and their toxic tea.
"More beer!" they say as they get another pitcher,
when they fully know that they're damaging their liver.

Their excuse (they say) is to have fun with their friends,
but as we all know it's at their own health's expense.
So I've got some questions for the beer drinkers to answer

I want them to tell me, and to tell me true,
are those drinking buddies really true friends to you?
If they are your friends, then should they not care,
should they not worry and tell you beware?

What kind of a friend says "Let's go damage our livers!"
instead of just choosing more noble endeavors?
And don't you forget, you're killing your brain cells too,
so it's only a matter of time until we're all smarter than you.

I don't understand, why you'd want to make that choice,
why don't you put down that alcohol, just come and rejoice.
There are plenty of ways for us to have fun
and you don't need to be drinking to go out dancing 'til one.
In fact I'd surmise (correct me if I'm wrong)
that both ladies and men prefer the sober to drunk.

And there are other ways in which you can get happy
we can always go hiking or we can go rent a movie.
Wouldn't both you and your friends have more to remember
than when you sit there inebriated just bored 'til it's over?

I think if you went camping you'd have ten times the fun,
and ten times the memories when all's said and done.
So put down your beer and come watch cartoons
and let’s all go hiking and swim in lagoons.
