Debbie Guzzi Poet Couplet

For Carol

Oh, how do I love thee Soup, count the ways
you resuscitate me on many days!
When skies are black and the ground is muddy
I come to the Soup to find my buddies.
The close allegiance of my friends worldwide
brings a smile to my lips, tears I can't hide.
You are there, all of you, I'm not alone
if I'm sad many ring me by the phone!
What more could one ask on the internet
but company of those who are their get.
