Coca-Cola haiku
give me bitter drink
more burning Coca-Cola
makes my taste buds flinch
beautiful red can
twelve ounce goodness can’t be beat
love the caffeine high
no price is too high
to quench my thirst i’ll pay much
four-fifty a pack
better is my world
while Coca-Cola rules it
master of taste buds
scintillating taste
Coca-Cola come to me
quench my thirst for you
UPDATE: inspired by Howard’s comment:
twenty ounce bottle
slammed it back while reading news
now it’s gone, i’m sad
add yer own in the comments, or just praise my talents. :)
At 7:30 I cracked open a 20 oz bottle of the sweet brown carbonated nectar. Slammed it back while reviewing the news of the day. It’s empty now and I’m sad.
October 7th, 2004 at 7:03 amYou see, this is why the … er … um … you know, is hurting. Switch to non-caffeinated, SarahK! At least for one month and see if it doesn’t help.
October 7th, 2004 at 7:57 ami promise, in the last month or so, i’ve cut back from 3-4 a day to 1-2 a day. and the SBG started after that.

You know there might be one of those 12 step support groups for this.
um…jus’ sayin’
October 7th, 2004 at 9:00 amNot being a Southerner, I don’t know if by Coca-Cola you mean Coca-Cola, Pepsi, RC, Grape Shasta, Diet Rite . . . etc. Please clarify . . .
And do you say co-ca co-la, or do you say coc-co-la.
And, being from MN and ND, I have NEVER heard anyone utter the word “Cocoa-Cola.” We only say Coke. If there was a 100 ft wide sign in front of my face that said Coca-Cola, I would say “Hey, that’s a big Coke sign.” Is this just artistic license?
October 7th, 2004 at 9:14 amPepsi’s what I heart
October 7th, 2004 at 9:35 amIt buries Coke with each sip
Crack a can for me

October 7th, 2004 at 10:28 amDr Pepper’s just okay
Pepsi’s the shiznit
sweet nectar of life

what is addiction?
that’s right…Dr.Pepper is the elixir of the gods…but Texans say (me being a diehard born and raised and plan to die Texan) “Let’s go get a coke” meaning of course let’s go get a Dr. Pepper, the elixir of the gods. Oh and your poem was great SarahK.

October 7th, 2004 at 4:51 pmI hate modern poetry, in general, but I’ll make an exception for SarahK’s haiku about Coke: twenty ounce bottle slammed it back while reading news now it’s gone, i’m sad…
modern poetry?

Cherry Coke is the official economists drink at least according to Warren Buffett.
So hurray. Jolly Good Job, fine lass.

October 7th, 2004 at 7:08 pmjoshua, i can quit anytime!
kevin, Coca-Cola means Coca-Cola. however, if i say Coke, i mean any soft drink. and if i saw a big Coke sign, i wouldn’t say that, because it’d be obvious.
bikermommy, it’s not a poem, goofy goof, it’s several haiku.
maggie and jonag
y’all are cracking me up good
with your fightin’ words
and to answer the question at hand…
Pepsi’s so nasty
Doctor Pepper’s all sugar
Have a Coke and smile.
