Best Coke Poems
Thirsty? I
wonder,
well I’ll
pop my
top. I’ll
hiss and
you’ll sigh
the fun just
won’t stop. I’d
like to teach the
world to sing, really
it’s no joke. For I’m the
pause that refreshes, yup
Coca-Cola is Coke! Good to
the last drop, you know it’s
true. The best combination
Is Red, White and You! Coke
adds to life wherever you are.
Just have a Coke and shazam,
you’re a star. I am as pure as
sunlight for all folks see; your
passport to refreshment; so
just what will it be. Let me
share a wee secret there’s
no need to be coy. Just
open a Coke, then sit
back and ENJOY. I’m
the favorite drink for all
sorts of folks. You just can’t
deny it, things go better with
Coke. And you can’t beat the
feeling; so don’t throw a fit.
When you’re feeling Thirsty,
Look to me, COKE IS IT!
Sandy grains
wash over and over
a discarded glass
bottle
leaving what is left
smooth as silk
to my fingertips
touch
like a childhood
memory
thought over and over
once more
and as I look
out into the unyielding
sea
I recall your promise
words
I recall, over and over
again
like the waves splashing my
tan feet upon the sands
for you are overdue
love
to return to me
as I kiss my love note
to you
and toss the bottle once
more
into the dark blue abyss
below
my coke bottle
promise
forever and only
yours
I do stay
honest
A wizened boy who lived at seventy-two Oak
Relaxed in his tub with a lemon salt soak
Ate a curly pretzel, downed a harsh throat coke
An honest child who sprang from truthful folk
Dressed himself in a red and yellow super hero cloak
Flew around New York City watching for dangerous smoke
News of his heroism quickly readily broke
Giving some fame to this truthful do-gooder bloke
He saved a young girl who was having a choke
Convinced a teenager to give up a maryjane smoke
Chanted a spell pretty difficult to invoke
Created a talking frog who never could croak
If you meet this wizened boy at seventy-two Oak
Tell him his cousin Moke wants to give him a poke
This is a true story, in absolutely no way a joke
Now that I have shared it, I will go have a soak.
Sweet things don't always cloy.
The rainbow comes and goes
and lovely is the rose.
But few drinks bring me joy
and the taste I favor,
that Splenda in the glass,
that dance of bubbly gas.
Ahhh...Diet Coke; savour.
* Credit Wm Wordsworth's 'Intimations of Immortality'
and Andrea Dietrich's 'A Favorite Soda.'
Yes, I know; there's no Splenda in Diet Coke.
So, poetic license I invoke.
love is a drug
its a down and a high is lust
love is to chill out
lust has styles
if love is to savour
lust is to pizazz the flavor
ya'll fronting like you know better
wRAP the flow like so : its a down and a high. and a high is lust
Coke Zero is now my soft drink of choice
Zero calories is the key to success
Some genius on high finally figured it out
Coke without calories is the best!
The guy that came up with this brilliant stroke
Earned a dirty big bunch of Coke shares
For blokes like me who are trying to cut down
It's the answer to us guy's prayers
Now all we're missing is a Caramilk Zero
That would surely complete the trend
Imagine a chocolate bar that's healthy for you
I'd stick to this diet to the end
“That's pretty silly!” I heard someone say
“A chocolate bar without the bad stuff”
Relax my good fellows it's only a dream
Convincing us would surely be tough
So I really don't think it's such a great idea
But I'd give 'em a high five for trying
Downside of attempting to lose some weight
For all that bad stuff I'd be dying

PAPERBACKS AND COKE
Two partners in crime, my love affairs…
Bookmarked pages dumped on my soft bed
An urge to roam among fays and lords,
With visions of despair or triumph
Knowing insomnia is the nemesis;
While Advil cannot comfort night’s plea
A hubris …firing my imagination.
While leafing through chapters, I find relief
From another quirk; an ally so sweet…
Oh,cold fixes of Coke Zero quench
This need to satisfy all day’s thirst,
Eluding water therapy…how bland
How tasteless when hero and villain
Begin a venture of mighty feat;
Jittery, hand reaches for the next soda
As my brain excrete adrenaline…
With paperbacks and Coke at 3 am,
I conquer twilight’s watch, quite drained!
But life is short, my love affairs agree;
Did I include the M&M’s cravings?
For rob carmack, A Vice You Love

I wish to lean towards the extraordinary
Just a bit beyond mundane and ordinary
All the while avoiding stupidity
As I move through life's problems with fluidity
Being bold enough to avoid my passivity
So that I can approach my human capacity.
Without being consumed by my own naivety
No excuses
I'll find the answers
I'm one of the problem solving dancers
I tip toe beyond my mind shaped prisons
Gliding through life's inevitable seasons
Everything that happens
Happens for so many different reasons
So I'll stand up
Wake up
Get up
And get to it
I'll make the best of it
not trying to avoid it
Or being afraid of it
Full force when needing it
Holding back nothing
Yet willing to give away all of it
Because I'm borrowing it
None of it
Belongs to any of us
Some are passengers
Others of us
Are driving the bus
Let's make the trip good
Don't be afraid of being generous
Celebrate others
Forget being envious
By leaning towards your you
You too can live it
Breathe it
Seize it
Be in it
Move through and beyond it
Together we can celebrate it
You me and all of it!
All because we leaned just a little bit.....
Yes we can say we've done it
It's the best
That's all there is to it
After all "it's the real thing!" isn't it?

The sun burns hot but
I sip my Cherry Coke and
Watch the crystal waves.
Entered inside the world of coke
My friends thought it was a joke
I put in my change in the slot
What happened next was a lot
It was something like no other
No one believed me not even my brother
First I met ms Mellow Yellow
She tried to molest a fellow
Didn't know if I should be scared or flattered
But what happened next didn't matter
I met Ol Mr Pibb
He really was a pig
They called him the streak
The women thought he was a freak
He was to much for any one to handle
Then poor old Sprite really was a scandle
There was nothing he could do right
Every body picked on poor old sprite
As my journey came to an end
I made some new friends
The nice thing of coke life
There is not any strife
My sister sips diet coke
Gets her day going that’s no joke.
It even helps her dream of the Baroque;
Dazzling her eyes while frying her egg yoke.
And folks this is no smoke
It makes her strong as an oak,
While floating like a butterfly stroke
Whenever she drinks her chilled diet coke.
A Can of Coke with Juan
(Well, Diet Coke, because I care about my health, I guess)
One day in July as I attended the thrift store donation door, I received a strange give-away:
Several black garbage bags of a seventeen-year-old boy’s belongings that his family couldn’t stand to keep, nor did they want to throw away.
The first item of which I took note
was an unopened can of Coke,
As part of the company’s campaign taking advantage of our love of our names,
the unopened can in the bag read, “Share a Coke with Juan,” and I thought, “Okay.”
Welcoming a pause
I went to the breakroom and got a can of Coke to have while sorting through
the leftovers of a life gone too soon
He had a recent high school diploma and a drivers’ license – his first adult identification
As well as name tags from the past twelve years of his education
He had cards from his friends who, with my rudimentary Spanish I could tell,
praised his character and wished him well.
Soccer was a game in which he excelled,
For he had a large collection of beautiful first-place medals.
He even had a letter to put on his jacket
But it seems that never happened.
He had a nice watch and some trinkets from a trip to Disney
As well as a bow-tie, and at the bottom of the garbage bag I could see
There was a new credit card and new bank card that fell out of his donated wallet
And there were papers he filled out for the military and college
But now it’s all just water under the bridge
I put his certificates and cards and medals in a bag and hid them away
Hoping his family may call, and his belongings reclaim
But one day I came in and it was all gone
Just sent on – but at least I had my Coke with Juan.
drink coca cola
tap bottle or in a can -
it's so refreshing
Tribute To
Coca Cola Company
But Please
Wash Those Cans First
Let’s get some pizzas nice and cheesy
Nothing to cook, life is easy
Another quick fix, just what we need
Fast food, at lightning speed.
Food can fix most of our troubles
Deliveroo, comes to our homely bubble
Stay in and they deliver
Bad for your heart, bad for your liver
A gallon of coke, quench your thirst
Rot your teeth, a trip in a hearse
Your fast-food gut expands and enlarges
Let’s a buy a fourteen-seat sofa
For a couple of barges.
Look in the mirror a gastric disaster
Use some pills as a sticking plaster
Fatigue, couples the weariness of sloth
Cheese up some bread and finish the loaf.
