It's Fall - Let's Have Soup
Next week we are promised cooler weather, and
Guess what, it brings to mind “Soup”
It's Fall - Let's Have Soup!
"Soup" is a many splendored word.
The very sound of it strikes a chord.
There are soup cooks,
Soup books
Soup bowls
Soup for the souls,
Soups in alphabets, from boneless chuck,
Birds' nest, turtle, hen and duck
Never alike and never a bore
Soup kitchens beckon with smells through the door.
Soup for the rich and
Soup for the poor
Soups of all people find
Their own soup du jour
Soup conjures comfort and memories of peace
Whether from an antique tureen
Or tin cup on a wagon's release.
Tomato from LaMadelines in a big city mall,
A gourmet starter in a fancy-dressed hall.
A microwave cup from a grocery store shelf,
Catchup and hot water - just suit yourself.
But there's another side of soup, you know,
There's a soup of mixed people,
And a pea soup fog,
The streets get soupy when
Rain and snow fall
You may say slush, but this is my poem,
Night y'all.
