i love root beer:
cold and sweet and
licorice-y,
a little like that stuff
i drank that time
(i can't remember just
what it was called).
it's just as well --
i found it quite distasteful
in the end,
and not at all
like root beer,
which i love about
one tenth of one percent
as much as,
oh, say,
i love you,
and even on a bad day
i love root beer
quite a lot.
(yes, i hate poetry nodes too)
