Ode to Diet Coke

I never used to drink pop; the
carbonation and caffeine made me
throw up. Then, their drummer
stole money from my boys so
my best friends and I then drank a
two-liter bottle of Diet Coke
in ten minutes
because we were upset.

We drank an entire
two-liter bottle of Diet Coke
in ten minutes flat
and proceeded to play on the
merry-go-round
and round and
round.

Now I am addicted to that
sweet, bubbly, brown liquid
even after one
killer caffeine hangover.
