Muddy Iced Tea
Freddy Ortiz
Muddy iced tea for me!
Make it extra cloudy!
I’m ready to get rowdy!
I don’t wanna be drowsy anymore…
All I need is some pep in my step
To help me forget that…
Muddy iced tea for me!
Make it extra oily!
I’m ready to get feisty!
I don’t wanna feel lousy anymore…
All I need is some pep in my step
To help me forget that…
I’ve gotten so tired…
Doing what’s required
That I need to feel wired,
For I’m so uninspired if I’m not...
So, please pour me a double shot!
I recall what I forgot…
Time to trick my body!
Muddy iced tea for me!
Time to trick my brain
And forget this weariness and strain
“One more, please!
Muddy iced tea for me!"

I came into this world feet first, ready to get moving and start living. I grew up in a family of six: four siblings, Ma and Pa, and a grandpappy who's forever seventy-one. I didn't always like writing, let alone reading. It wasn't until the sixth grade that I turned heel. Held after class for not finishing a writing assignment, I wrote a short story using unit vocabulary words. My teacher, impressed by the tale of an apprehensive hero, said he couldn't wait to read more one day. Thus began my love for the written word.
