Buahrangers Revetment: Poety and Stories by Vietnam Veteran, Anthony W. Pahl and friends

Don’t get hooked on those sippy cups
and I’m fixin’ to tell ya why;
your dang teeth will have a reaction
that is sure to make ya cry.

I heard tell on the National News
they make teeth stick out a ways;
if you ain’t careful they’ll call ya ‘Bucky’
like me in my school days.

They said instead of suckin’ and swollowin’
the juice just sits in your mouth,
and before ya know what happened,
your teeth will all fall out.

They said it’s better to drink a bottle
and that makes good sense to me.
So take one down ‘n’ pass it around
and do it in the name of your teeth!
