These squeezy drinks containers are called 'Burples'

My blueberry pancakes were purple So tasty, with pure maple surple I ate the whole pile and with a smug smile I produced an enormous burple I googled and ‘burple’ is a real word but my definition of it would be when your tummy gurgles and causes you to burp Poem came about as a result of a mail with Richard - I said there was no word to rhyme with purple and he told me about a song called "Dang Me." which was written and performed by Roger Miller and it contains the word 'surple' 10-16-17

I think we should campaign to get the word 'burple' adopted into the English language lol - i do think it is a very descriptive word for a burp when your tummy gurgles lol:-) hugs jan xx

I've heard of the word "burple" as I remember those containers way back when! However "surple" is a new one on me, I understand what it means within your poem, but is that the real word's meaning? I loved your incredible poem however, on this fun subject...what an awesome mail challenge you have gotten, though it asn't an exact challenge to you was it? You made it one, and I'm glad you did! What a funny piece, such a grandiose poem, Great Work!!

I'd never heard of the word surple but when i googled i found this pic of maple surple so I guess it came about as a result of the 'dang me' song. I would love my version of 'burple' to be adopted lol:-) hugs Jan xx
