Notes to Roomates

I require two cups of water by my bed,
two TALL cups.
One is not enough.
I drink a lot of water.
I also have many guests
(they too drink a lot of water)
I also have a fickle ficus
who requires old water.
That is a lot harder to make than you think.
It requires foresight, planning,
24 hours of preparation,
marination,
stagnation.
Hours and hours of sunbathing
to remove toxins
(oh the luxury!)

So.
Please (I repeat)
PLEASE!
Do not touch my cups,
I know they are old,
and many,
BUT I NEED THEM!
