Poetry Soup With Carrots
The soup of me
is poetry,
I'll serve it to
my friend Andrew
and as he eats
delicious treats
I'll say to you,
"Why's Andrew blue?"
and you'll respond,
"Well, listen, Juan,
now please don't scoff,
but it's bland broth,"
and now I see
the poetry
should be more true
like carrot stew,
and so I'll add
(just like my dad)
some carrots, two,
for friend Andrew,
but he's still blue,
so what to do?
I'll take the stew:
no more for you,
Andrew! "It's true,
you see," you say
to me, "You'll pay
(not free) today,
you'll see, if you
can continue
to poo-poo Drew
for trying stew
that was so bland,
just understand,
his tastes are true
as me or you,"
and so I'll try
to satisfy
that picky Drew
because he's true
in what he says
and I'd be dead
if I was so
unfair as to
not understand
that he's a man
and he deserves
more pleasing herbs,
and so I'll try
to add some thyme
and if it works
then I'll alert
you to this thing
and I'll be king
and we'll be free.
Democracy.
