A Comparative of Soups

It's true that pork 'n' beans have chunks that are winning And Indian spiced pumpkin sets your heart spinning Pho bo's delightful, cod soup's disarming jjamppong, French lentil --charming Japanese dashi, vichyssoise's sweet tater soup's smashing, pozole's a treat Bread and butter with escarole-and-white-bean bring wonderful company, time and again Delish Italian wedding soup in Orte try this and you're a jolly good sport But cream of the crop, tip of the top it's Poetry Soup, and there we stop! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Aug. 27, 2023 "Soup Poetry Contest" Sponsored by: Robert James Liguori Deadline: Saturday, September 23, 2023 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I wrote it to the tune of the following lyrics ("It's a Jolly Holiday" from Mary Poppins--- "...It's true that Mavis and Sybil 'ave Ways that are winning And Prudence and Gwendolyn Set your 'eart spinning Phoebe's delightful, Maude is disarming Janice, Felicia, Lydia--charming Cynthia's dashing, Vivian's sweet Stephanie's smashing, Priscilla a treat Veronica, Millicent, Agnes, and Jane Convivial company, time and again Dorcas and Phyllis and Glynis are sorts I'll agree are three jolly good sports But cream of the crop, tip of the top It's Mary Poppins, and there we stop!")
