Bottle This! Just hold on before we go any farther – I want to take a moment to talk about water. That liquid that you’re holding, that bottle in your hand, you though it was water you were drinking, not a corporate brand. You thought it was cleaner and safer, and better for your health, [...]
I’m a rover, seldom sober I’m a young lass, gay and free I’m always single when I’m drinking Never a man will marry me! “Oh my young lass, fair and pretty, I’ve been watching you,†said he “Gold and silver and riches a-plenty will be yours if you’ll marry me!†“Oh young man, I thank [...]
