P erchance has anyone seen something fishy
I n the pot of soup we all like to eat?
R aucous spices of refute with long spikey teeth.
A re there some questionable ingredients that do
N ot blend well with all the others?
H ave you smelled the odor, the fishy stench they put out?
A dding a little more water may tame the flavor down.

I ngredients in a broth should compliment each other
N ot over power like the bitter taste of thistle weed.

T aste and see if the soup really needs any more salt
H ere's hoping some spices will not assault your tongue.
E njoying a bowl of soup should only bring dining pleasure.

S o be careful when you measure the spices from the shelf,
O r you might find you'll belch and have to spit it out.
U ntil you know what seasonings are thrown into the pot,
P lease don't let a piranha chef spoil the soup in the kitchen.
