She wouldn’t listen when they tried to warn her
Drinking soda was no good for her waist
But she was addicted to sweet Nuka-Cola
She simply adored its taste
There was something about the flavor
The more she drank, the more she would crave
Never heeded the warning label
That sent her straight to an early grave
Right there, on the front of the bottle
Underneath the soft drink’s name
Excessive consumption unhealthy
Warning: choking hazard, it proclaimed
April Writing Prompt: Nuka-Cola Asphyxiola – Day 30/30
Normally, this would be the last poem for April’s writing prompts, but it seems Michelle sneaked in an extra day…so April has 31!!!

You know, I discovered the problem yesterday. I had originally doubled up the 28th on my list. Lol. Which is why I never noticed the extra day. Case closed I guess. 😉
