(With thanks to Lou Reed, who inspired the title and refrain)
"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 *** March 1, 2017 © Darren White
