Drink Coca Cola Poem by Ima Ryma
Drink Coca Cola
Coca Cola, invented in
Eighteen eighty five, did contain
Extracts of the coca leaf then,
Which plain and simple was cocaine.
The 'cola' in the name did mean
Coming from the kola nut which
Did contain a lot of caffeine.
A 'medicine' was one sales pitch.
All this was legal at the time.
Sellers of Coca Cola could
Make claims without proof and no crime.
Drink Coca Cola and feel 'good.'
The Coca Cola feel 'good' claim
Soon did make it a household name.
And it was one of my first words as I still drink a case of Diet Coke
Nicely written history of Coke. With a touch of innocence that does evoke, simpler and perhaps less vicious times. Enjoyed.

You're right. It did originally contain cocaine. I remember my father telling us kids not to drink it for that reason. As usual, you have some nice rhymes.
