Gloopity Gloops

Porridge is ploppy' broth is real thin.. However this true 'soup of poetry' fills things up to the brim.. I'll admit its sometimes murky... yet its flavours real strong...' its long on warm welcomes to whoever jumps in' It can be hot at the bottom and bubbly on top; I hope that your senses can take in a lot. There’s lumps in the mixture that can challenge your swallow; But if you stick with your portion you'll see how it beats imitators hollow. I've hit a few snags.. I'll admit there are trials, Yet the Judges aren't for 'hanging' (I mean they make decisions sometimes) L O L... Now I don't put that in verses, well I hadn't till now It probably won't Rhyme, but it’s to late anyhow, Now just where was I? Oh yes you must try, And keep 'a circulating or you might boil the pot dry.' I've been trapped in the bubbles that might be silly to you But the old silly-bubbles do get me in a stew, If you bite down on one, and you hear a slight ahh! It’s either a soft or a hard one, now you may not be sure, Like the egg and the chicken... That got squashed by a car; It can be quite academic, if you make it that far, and if that does happen, That you travel that road, A nice plump 'foul' wouldn’t hurt ,if its in the brew throwed If the egg isn't seen, I don't give a dang.! Pop that bird in the pot, that'll be just the thang.... ©Joe Maverick 30-11-2013
