Eyelash Soup

Eyelash soup
Get it while you can
It tickles all the way down
It makes you want to move and shout
When you eat two bowls 
You get a wild urge to clean
Everything you have never cleaned before
You will move your oven out 
Because that is what eyelash soup does for you
Hello, sir, how many bowls do you want?
Get it while it’s hot
It is not every day we make it
Difficult to get eyelashes you know
Eyelash soup
Get it while you can
For your mother and your wife?
What about you, sir?
What about a bowl for you?
Okay, sir, but let me tell you,
It puts a zing in your step that 
was never there before.
Six bowls? Sure! 
To go or will you be dining in?

M. L. Kiser April 22, 2019 at 3:28 PM I'll have to go clean now... Caren Krutsinger April 23, 2019 at 4:35 AM yes, you truly will, but not my house. I hate all cleaning. If you come here, we will be silly and laugh, but no cleaning. It is my biggest rule.

Jennifer Proxenos April 22, 2019 at 12:51 PM Caren I search your poems for what I immediately sense will make me LOL - eyelash soup - great imagery! Poetry hugs, Jennifer. Caren Krutsinger April 23, 2019 at 4:35 AM Thank you Jennifer. You might like "Lickety Split" my all time favorite poem.

Gershon Wolf April 22, 2019 at 12:29 PM Caren, can't say when I've laughed harder lately... I'll take 12 bowls to go, one for each of the members of my family. Just make sure they're kosher, ok? LOL. A barrel of monkeys and a FAVe. ~ gw Caren Krutsinger April 23, 2019 at 4:37 AM Kosher? Sure! Of course! We just had Passover, I will be very careful you get the kosher batch in honor of that!
