The Paper Cup

The cup is filled to the top
Icy cold, drank from non-stop
No regrets for what was lost
No concern for the total cost

Consuming till half is gone
Still it`s lasted this long
Not as cool as it once might have been
Still, refreshment is readily given

Three-quarters have been drunk
In total quite a significant chunk
The ice has melted and it`s watered down
The contents disappeared cannot be found

With one last sip the cup is empty
Remembering when there was plenty
When the ice cold drink was brand new
Used and old, thrown away, gone from view.
