Soft v2

It's the little red bottle,
Whose contents shall throttle,
Shaped like a saint of winter,
Enshrined in a trademarker.

Looks all young and funky,
Drinking lots gives you a monkey,
Always sold to keep you healthy,
But it keeps your dentist wealthy.

Fantastic automated shopping,
No need for communicating,
Pop in cash, its stimulating,
It rolls out, no more waiting.

For God and country, it's so cold,
Exports right around the world.
Harmless brown and fizzy,
Understand and feel quite dizzy.

This versions more hard hitting and explicit. Well improved shaft.

Well I've updated it but I'm still not happy with it. Thanks for the comments, its what I needed, its given me a new spurt of creativity.

The Monkey line is about addiction, monkey on your back. Caffeine is harder to kick than cigarettes... at least with cigs they're antisocial, caffeine is everywhere! Try it, give up coffee, tea, coke etc etc for a few days and see where it gets you :-)

This is good Shaft. I like it. I've been working with rhymed poetry. It take some effort. Good show.
