How Low Can You Go?
How low can you go - said the meter to the blood
38, 22 and my head feels like mud
I poke my pinky again cause my index is tired
Hot, anxious, sweating, both exhausted and wired
3333 – that’s not right - uh oh seeing double
And I’m out of juice, that means big trouble
I open the freezer and think oh what is that?
Pint of Ben & Jerrys should fix this in a snap
On the floor of the kitchen, with the best ice cream ever
Spoon shaking, this is yummy, I am feeling quite clever
I laugh at myself – I must be quite a site
In my pjs eating ice cream in the middle of the night
And now I’m just freezing, but the meter says 96
Want to go back to bed, get warm with blankets
I crawl into the cocoon of warm dreams
Grateful for meters, 96es and surprise ice cream
