Notes About The Poem

I Don'T Think It Was Pepsi She Was Drinking

Gut wrenching Bowel clenching Loo stenching Throat heaving Sick making Head aching No sleeping Mum’s waking She’s crying Not dying…. Tipsy! Based on the format of the original PEPSI advert from the 1970's 08-12-17

I agree with Lin and Victor, I don't think it was just Pepsi that he was drinking to get those effects! A lot of alcohol will damage you big time and this would be the after effects of it! I've never gotten drunk, and don't plan to, so I don't know exactly how that feels, but I've seen it first hand! This is a fantastic write about "Pepsi" with a little extra umph thrown in! What a grandiose piece my friend! Great Work!!

The Pepsi line is really about the commercial the poem was based on and instead of pepsi at the end I used Tipsy lol:-) I seldom drink alcohol these days and have been drunk twice and it is something I never want to experience ever again:-0 hugs jan xx
