Haiku: Epcot April #1
So who's Beverly? If you believe the rumors, Beverly is liquid love, an Italian bevanda, and she's dispensing herself to anyone in Epcot who wants a taste. Before any of you gentlemen sneak off to Epcot, sans family, it's not what you think...
The haiku theme for this month is Epcot April. Each week, JB Conway will evoke Epcot in haiku. Maybe it's a ride. Maybe a building. Maybe it's a scent or a sound. Whatever it is, JB's haiku will conjure it in your mind and make it real again.
I told you Beverly was liquid love!
Beverly, of course, is one of the free Coke products dispensed at Epcot's Club Cool. The Italian word for drink, bevanda, is probably the origin of Beverly, though we can't rule out a sugar-obsessed contessa.
Tasting Beverly is a treat like no other. A treat, that is, if your taste buds crave bitter. Beverly is bitter beyond belief.
In JB's haiku, he suggests that a swallow of Beverly will wash your troubles away, and he's correct, because once you've brought Beverly into your life, not even your troubles will survive its bitter backwash.
By the way, if you haven't bought JB's book, Mouse of Zen, and yet you come here each week to read his haikus, why do you torture yourself? Are you a masochist? (Or maybe a mouseochist?) Don't you know you can get all the haikus at once? In the book!
