- Creamy Chicken Soup -

     When it's soup season on Poetry Soup
     Ingredients are in large selection
     Creamy chicken soup is yummy
     for both body and soul
     it is simple to fix

     Step one:
     Joseph and John catch the chicken
     it runs wild in the back garden
     Step Two:
     Robert and Richard pluck the feathers
     and takes out the entrails
     no one else would do this work so well
     Step Three:
     Wash your hands (I bet they smell)
     Step Four:
     Tania and Evelyn
     fry the chicken in butter
     together they sing a cheerful song
     Step Five:
     Ilene and Jan
     is responsible for
     leek, bell peppers
     and carrot in the pot
     their tools are humor
     not razor sharp knifes
     Step Six:
     Hiya who is "chicken" in the group
     adds boiling broth stock
     Linda tells her to be cautious
     kitchen window has been misted by steam
     Step Seven:
     Let the soup boil for ten to fifteen minutes
     Sara says to her husband Bill who stirs the pot
     Step Eight: Crème Fraîche
     Paula and Heidi adds an extra dash
     and taste a little with a wooden spoon
     Step Nine:
     Victor chops some fresh parsley
     he feels refreshed and hungry today
     Step ten: Pick your place around the table
     Welcome to Soup - Enjoy
