He said he will do it or die
I huffed, “Okay, give it a try.”
He starts with our pool
The silly young fool
He wants to drink Canada Dry

Thanks, Jan. I certainly haven’t seen it or any ads for it for many, many years. Fortunately, one or two of us Soupers are, shall we say… of sufficient longevity ;-)

Thanks, David… crikey, ‘unique and refreshing’ leaves me wondering if I didn’t read all the rules ;-) good to hear from you. Terry

You and me both, Tom. Of course, that also means some of our younger friends will read this and think, “I don’t get it.” C’est la vie ;-)

Oh! Oh! Oh! Did you ever nail this one, Terry! Bravo! If I were a betting man, I'd --- but I'm not, am I?! lol. Great job, Gershon

Thanks, Ilene. I have no idea if the ‘Drink Canada Dry’ commercials ran worldwide….. even if they did, I suspect only people of a certain erm… vintage… will get the gag. Glad you enjoyed. Terry
