The Difference Between Pepsi and the Pope
The Pope is coming to New York in April of 2008. Perhaps this thrills you. To me, it's still a month away...I'm still putting my Easter plans together. April of 2008 is like a millenium away in my book. HOWEVER, a little research into what kind of soda the Pontiff prefers led me to this interesting tidbit. Author Denise Duhamel, in her book Queen for a Day, writes a poem called "The Difference betwen Pepsi and the Pope." I wanted to share a link with you that best describes the poem...but the best site I found is really a review of a BUNCH of poems, with Duhamel's near the bottom. It's here:
http://www.ralphmag.org/folio-late-summer2001.html If you don't want to read the whole page looking for the Pepis-and-Pope references, allow me to cut-and-paste some intersting facts for you: (In) "The Difference between Pepsi and Pope" (she)tells about a flaw that Duhamel has in the right side of her vision: "...so that often I get whole words at the end of sentences wrong
like when I first saw the title of David Lehman's poem "The Difference Between Pepsi and Coke" and I misread "Coke" for "Pope."
This blind spot makes me a terrible driver." She admits that she prefers Coke, mostly because of the "wavy hyphen" that separates "Coca" from "Cola" Her final analysis on the difference between Coca-Cola's rival and the Cheif of the Vatican? "Pepsi is bubbly and brown while the Pope is flat and white.
Pepsi doesn't have a big white hat. The Pope can't get rid of fender rust.
Pepsi is all for premarital sex.
The Pope won't stain your teeth." I LOVE this Poet!!!! You can read MORE soda thoughts at www.SodaIsGood.blogspot.com
