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
