When I was young,
I remember summer
and drinking Mountain Dew
it wasn't red, or hip, or cool
most people thought I was a fool
and mocked my choice of drink, its true
Now I liked back when Coke was IT
and I like it even now
but I miss that country feel it had
as if made from mountain cows
ok, maybe that's a bit too much
but you know what I really mean
I liked it better, way back when
when Dew was bottled GREEN


~~so have yourself another can
of whatever drink you wish
lay off the heavy caffeine though
lest you lay flopping like a fish~~

Cans have nothing over
glass bottles...the cold
slippery feel and the anticipated
tingle of the beverage...

Nope.  Cans just don't cut it...

Thank you!

I like bottles too but they have too many pastic ones and it just isnt the same. But I've never tried Mountain Dew.

I breathe the dust, the dust is me.

Hehe, very cute and reminiscent poem...although I must say that I'm not a fan of Mountain Dew at all!

Hugs,

Your beautiful words & creativity allow me to connect with the same in myself.  
Thank you for having the courage to share yourself so that I can too

hey there Soleil Glad you liked the poem and welcome

Sudhir...bottles rule...specially when they used to let you cash them in

Moon...you're ' the naughtiest ' and you haven't tried Mt. Dew????...amazing *G*

Smit Kit...I drink the decaf stuff.....otherwise I get the jitters *L* and the red stuff tastes like cherry kool aid with bubbles...kinda like that stuff they used to sell at K mart back in the 70's *L*

This is a clever poem and I really enjoyed it.  I'm not a pop drinker, either can or bottle but I used to love cherry coke at the soda fountain!

As the past should be held to,
remember what sweet treats are forever changed....

Great Poem as I enjoy all trips down memory Lane.

ahhh - i just kicked my mt. dew habit - a habit of about... uhmm... let's say thirteen years... a pack a day (six pack of course) and people swore my blood ran green... if anyone thinks it was easy to quit, guess again... I STILL accidentally press the Dew button on the coke machine without even thinking about it... then have to trade with someone else... sigh I do miss it though... cool poem - thanks for the memories, i too think red mountain dew is evil!!!
