sporty yellow water bottle

sun-drenched disposition;
chrome sunrays elephant-glued onto her face.
obsidian band rendered incapable
of constraining hair, oh, make no mistake,
she's a sporty yellow water bottle!

translucent strip down her side unveils
degree of severity—markings of 100 200 300 ml.
adept at rocketing up to 500, but presently
it's 0.001 because she's on clouds nine ten eleven
she's a sporty yellow water bottle!

a verbal heart with 99 to relinquish
'for sale, free!'—flying off the spotless shelf.
and pretty soon every bungalow's occupied
but there's forever room for more.
she's a sporty yellow water bottle!

and though she may at times be green or blue
('made in Singapore' stands out permanently)
rinse off the water-based paint and look!
always blushing blonde underneath;
she's a sporty yellow water bottle!
