Liquid Countdown

The can tilts back, a breath held tight,

A burst of laughter fills the air.

One gulp, one cheer, the dizzying flight,

The can tilts back, a breath held tight.

 

Friends shout warnings, some mock, some bite,

As bubbles rise with reckless flair.

The can tilts back, a breath held tight,

A burst of laughter fills the air.
