Ode to Diet Pepsi

Fountain fresh, ice cold, through a straw
Mini explosions with just the right combination
-- carbonation and syrup
Bubbles burst through my taste buds –
Just enough to send my eyes rolling in sheer ecstasy.

Fizzy, bubbly sounds of freshly poured Diet Pepsi
Send chills and tingles whispering across my skin.
Golden brown bursts of caffeine earn my undying devotion.

I accept no substitutions!
A purist am I – no cherries, lemons, or limes for me
Raise the glass high!
Sparkling amber glistens on the rocks.

The drink of true Americans proudly wraps itself in
Red, White, and Blue
True democracy sports the packaging.

Indulging in my single vice of life allows me
To gratify my desires for DP.
Heaven must allow a steady supply.

Long live my friend,
My passion,
My desire,
My love,
My Diet Pepsi!
