The Taste of Disappointment
Another Venting Type Poem!
Red Bull gives you wings
It really really does
Especially that first time
Leaves you jibber-jabbing
However
Would it kill it to taste
Of...you know, anything?
If you are struggling
Trying to figure out
Just what Red Bull tastes of
It's disappointment and regret
You are better off taking the
Amphetamines or, you know
Coffee - coffee and speed?
People who drink Red Bull
And say, "I love the taste"
Are lying or on the payroll
Disappointment and regret
Despair and dissatisfaction
That's what you get
When you get Red Bull
Don't even dare mention
Flavoured Red Bull
It's still disappointment
It's just more saccharine
Fizzy disappointment
With a sugary caffeine hit
Besides
After a while, you lose your wings
If you want to get the shakes
And don't mind getting addicted
Definitely don't take speed
Or Red Bull
Stick to coffee, pal. Coffee is the way
Just don't put any bloody almond milk near it!
