Blame It On the Soup

Blame it on the Soup This day is sacred said I, Set aside to do income tax, But first I’ll check on the web, And then I’ll turn right back. There was the Soup with new poems, Oh, I’ll just read a few, Before I knew it, it was noon, Tax papers all askew. In between this year and that, I spied a little ancient book, In it I’d written a few poems and so, I’d have to take a look. Another tad of time went by, It was like that all tax day, So if Uncle Sam doesn’t hear from me; Blame it on the Soup, I say.

Ha! Ha! I know what you mean. Soup does tend to get in the way of planned activities. Cute poem, SW! Blessings, Kim

Thank you, Kim. It's sort of a "compulsion."

Hello Sunlite. With a title such as this of course I had to read on. It is a wonderful and true tribute to The Soup and its members. We all thank you and second your words. Well done and expressed.
