Just Add Some Chili

Stanley's Mom made the blandest pot of soup
When you ate a bowl, your eyelids would droop
   Mom added hot chili
   'Twas Stanley's achilles
He took one bite and let out a war whoop

G’day Gershon … chilli can have that effect for anyone unaccustomed to its heat. Some are just too hot for me - I must add I have let go a war whoop now and then Gershon - Lindsay
