MY FOUNTAIN OF YOUTH!

LINE COUNT: 12

Everyone ages from the moment we are born -- including WDC.
As we age and leave our youth behind us, some of us dream of discovering
the secret to staying young forever, of finding the "fountain of youth."

Write a story or poem about that discovery,
either taking a literal or metaphorical approach,
including "fountain of youth" in your item or title.

MY FOUNTAIN OF YOUTH!

My day's coffee consumption rate is WAY out of control,
although my good nutrition is one of my highest goals!
I drink my coffee like it's quickly going out of style!
I hang out at the Starbucks shop--I'd almost walk a mile
to get a fresh-made portion of my very fav'rite brew!
If I gave up my daily pot, I don't know what I'd do!
That volume is RIDICULOUS, I know that I should stop!
I pretend it's from my fountain of youth--but I'm about to POP!
It used to make me feel old when I was just a pup;
I just can't get enough of it now that I'm all grown up!!
I'd like to think that all this Joe improves my healthy glow,
but I won't ask my doctor--I just don't want him to know!!
