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!
