THE DIET MOXIE CRITIQUE

THE DIET MOXIE CRITIQUE

He bought some DIET MOXIE*

Noticing the brand new can,

And different were the bottles….

It looked like an exciting brand.

–

The taste wasn’t what he remembered

When younger it smelled and had bite,

No aftertaste with this stuff…

Didn’t taste like the stuff he had liked.

–

Ingredients were still on the label,

In order as memory served…

“Distinctly Different” said the words on the can

But its formula seemed to have swerved.

–

The bitter aftertaste was gone,

The formula seemed much sweeter….

One wonders how they can make the stuff

With less gentian root* per liter!

–

But of course it’s a new generation,

The old farts are dying out fast….

Old tastes must be skewed to new realities

So the comp’ny that bought it can last.
