"Goodnight Soupers, Soupers Goodnight
Time for Chris to say Goodbye"
From the very early morning
When the sun still fights the moon
He will sit to write his lyrics
To be posted very soon
With a cup of coffee waiting
And a notepad filled with Soup
Tangerine skies out the window
And his thoughts run in a loop
"Morning Soupers
I slept well
You're still sleepy
I can tell"
Through the day he writes his comments
So supportive to us all
In between his own great writing
A poetic waterfall
When his evening rest is nearing
He writes us all a lullabye
And when for once he doesn't
In the silence we all cry
"Goodnight Soupers, Soupers Goodnight
Time for Chris to say Goodbye"
Don't forget us on your Wednesday
Or we all are gonna cry
Now goodnight Chris and sleep well friend
Here's for once YOUR lullabye
