One of Pa's closest friends
at ten, two and four¹ every day,
A cold Dr. Pepper,
one for each hand if he had his way.
A tonic for the brain
a quick pick-me-up for the road,
The king of soda pops,
just the thing to help carry the load.
I can see his ice chest now
a bed of ice for a six-pack plus,
The world's oldest soft
drink,
but for Pa, a taste that's just fabulous.
For Pa on Fathers' Day, 2022
¹On the original bottles
Dr. Pepper came in,
it showed a clock-like image
with the numbers
10, 2 and 4, representing
the times of the day
to a break and a crack open
another Dr. Pepper |
