The Skinny Tree

Day 4: Cola
This piece of pillowy goodness tasted remarkably like Coke!
I’ve always been a Coca-Cola aficionado, ever since I could grab one out of the soda chest in Pa Fowler’s market while Mom picked out potatoes and Pa ground up beef for hamburger.
Now, because I’m old and fat and diabetic, I drink Coke Zero Sugar. It’s the closest thing to actual Coke that I’ve found. Tab? Bleh. Diet Coke? Meh, but I’ll take it.
But man oh man oh Superman, on a hot summer day when you’re tired and sweaty, Coke is it for me.
Oh also? We put up our new, skinny tree! It is bright and shiny and is the best tree ever!
