A 3 N 1 For the Contests

I thought I would try entering Three Contest
With one poem-- 

MY POETRY SOUP RECIPE

WORD CHALLENGE CONTEST
                         By Silent One


This should triple my losses,
Just think 3 N/A's for the work of one.
I must be getting lazy or going crazy
but here goes.........
 

I might seem as nutty as a fruitcake 
Or having a slight touch of Insanity
But here's some food for thought, ingredients I've got
Though my recipe for Soup, starts with Humanity

Now, for those who like life a little spicy 
I'll add a little dash of profanity
I'm afraid to put to much, for it'll taste like double dutch
And everything I say, just Inanity

I hate to say it, but, I  stir the pot
'Cause people who like soup, hate Mundanity
But when the kitchen gets to hot, and I gave it all I've got
I step outside and show some Urbanity

Sometimes, I will burn a dish or two
Hoping that's the only Fatality 
Cause if it doesn't rhyme, I'll just add a pinch of thyme
And never taste the flavors of Brutality

It's true I like to add a smirk or giggle
Course, there's times it boils down to reality
So, any way it goes, in your mouth then out your nose
I'm really do not care much for Formality

I tried to make three dishes at a time
To only serve, a  half baked Morality
After working, my fingers to the bone
It's clear, I'm no "gourmet" of Mentality 

Now everything I make is  "Du Jour" 
Creating new flavors with Vitality
And if they scorch my entrée, on the way
I hope I never act with Volcantiy
