Meeting the Soupers

Have I got clean socks on?

I really must be sure

I wouldn't want my souping buds

To smell the green manure

That pile I trod in earlier

It really was a stinker

It's crucial that

My new compadres

think that I'm a thinker.

(And NOT a heavy drinker)

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
