A Texas Girl

I gave her a yellow rose
I found wilting in the sand.
Next morning, it stood tall
In her Dr Pepper can.

The Texas Dr Pepper Test

How to tell if she’s Texas born and bred:
When it’s time to be fed,
Just offer her a Coke,
She’ll take it as a joke,
And order a Dr Pepper instead.

A Dr Pepper Haiku

There’s no denying
That Texas girls take comfort
In Dr Pepper.
