Alphabet Soup

I'm leaving my soup,

I've had my fill,

one more slurp,

and I'll fall ill,

ran out of letters,

can't spell a word,

(so I've heard)

like jeopardy,

the wheel it spins,

some contestants, 

never win,

with much contrite,

and my last bite,

I swallow words,

already ingested.

Speaking out...I like that...it takes a push of emotions to spin the wheels of muse sometimes...then it's all about it and not about you...Keep ink flowing...
