In bed he thought he was alone.
  Until he heard from one leg bone,
"Young man we need to have a talk
  Since you need me each time we walk.

"All the bones within your body
  Are being treated really shoddy.
  You must consider, cause it's true,
  How strong we grow depends on you.

"We bones and muscles hold our breath
  Cause soda pop might cause our death.
  Your mind could have a sudden lapse.
  Your bellybutton might collapse.

"Your eyes then fill with cola tears
  As noisy gas shoots out your ears!
  When a body's on fizz overload
  The whole things liable to explode.
