Switching To Diet
around and around and around it all spins
hitting the bottom without bottoming out
just when I think it is done now for good
up to the top it all bubbles again
the effervescence with all of the fizz
I thought was flat, left without the cap
I guess it doesn't quite work out that way
it still tickles my nose when it's going in
the taste is so sweet as I drink it down
I can feel the burn like Coke has in my throat
I'm switching to diet, that's all there is
it will still taste good without adding a pound
