Where There's TaB, There's Refreshment

Where There's TaB, There's Refreshment

A Poem by Claire in VA
"

This is a haiku poem. The title is one of Coca Cola's slogans used for their diet cola TaB. I picked that slogan because Coca Cola used it my birth year, 1972.

Ol Roy's TaB can

Author's Note

Claire in VA
Grandpa told us that he ran into country music star Roy Clark during hunting season. Grandpa ADORED "Ol Roy." While they were chatting, Roy tossed his empty TaB can into the woods. We, the grandkids, thought it was hilarious that Grandpa was so facinated by this.Grandpa went back early the next morning, found the can, and kept it. Note: The purpose of this is to preserve a family story, not to bash Roy for littering; this took place in the late 70's. It wasprobably before we heard Woodsy Owl say, "Give a hoot -- Don't Pollute!"

Now that is a blast from the past. Never really cared for Tab or soda all that much, but your fine poem does bring back memories. Nice Claire.
