My Dear Sweet Coke

Ode to coke a cola

The spit of your fizz

That spatters my lips

Stirs an energy, unlike any other

The bubbles that rise

Bring a tear to my eyes

And a sweet sticky smile that soon covers

From my fingertips, all the way to my hips

Your goodness astounds and completes me

But only your taste will bring me such ease

Not Dr Pepper, root beer or cold pepsi

The slurp sounds I make

As I greedily taste

The goodness none other near replicate

Is worth every cent

That the vendor requests

A thank you bellows, from deep in my face

Oh, dear sweet, sweet cola

The tingle you give to my tongue

Is far better than any before you

The sadness that flows as the emptiness grows

Is an emptiness I cannot get over

So instead of despair

I’ll just comb my hair

And run down to the store for, another
