Poem Title:
Poem
On the Soup we have broth and bisque and the odd chowderhead with a whisk We got the antisemites who rant and rave who are artful but not very smart or brave We got useful idiots and indoctrinated who should be committed and sedated We have the banterers who kid and jest and lighten the mood for all the rest We got spoilers for a fight who pick ‘em and quickly cry wolf and play the victim We have the philosophers and thinkers and we got imposters and hoodwinkers We have truth tellers and truth deniers and the peacemakers and the pacifiers We have the literati and we have divas and the overpraised and underachievers We have the deleters and the blockers and have boomers and the Tik Tokers We got the same old cliques and coteries who flatter and praise each other to please We got an Age of Unreason phenomenon and its nutters who resort to ad hominem We got the bullies, numpties, and churls who cry virtue but really are mean girls . We have insufferable attention seekers and the poem dumpers and critiquers We have the hate filled partisan politics and endless deranged Trumpian limericks We got echo chambers and herdthink and ego fragile hive minds on the brink We have the perpetually offended haters and the snowflake hypocrite mass debaters We have among us nihilists and deceivers and have heretics and the true believers We have the plagiarisers and AI cheaters and the bombasters and the chest beaters We have poets who crave the spotlight and have poets who just love to write We have the good, the bad, and the ugly, and the wise, the dumb, and the smugly But for such a large and diverse group we all bring something to the Soup Written: June 2025
