Nature Soup

we must follow the recipe closely my little brother’s eyes widen in hope I say, if not it will turn out grossly and he asks if we can put in some rope I wonder if his ears work - I say nope! the ingredients are very precise I tell him I don’t want to do this twice only natural elements will do four rose petals will be enough to entice all the children in town, to crave our stew one smooth stone and two wild berries for taste a sprig of pine and a flower stomped flat I counsel on picking, don’t chose in haste little bit of this, little bit of that but just enough so we will not get fat I permit him to stir, with a clam hand cautiously not letting in any sand I secretly share my move, loop-D-loop ensuring our dinner will not be bland we shall be famous for our nature soup Diana-Marie Bombardieri 04/19/2012 -The things we do as children;) My brother and I perfected nature soup and drank it on the regular. Nothing but water from the garden hose and gifts from mother nature- !
