Poetry Soup

Lunchtime
And to quell my hunger
Searching cupboards for an appetizing treat
Tins of soup lined up like soldiers
Into battle – no retreat

Labels there to whet my appetite
Lobster Bisque and Pea and Ham
Though nothing really does the trick
A sandwich beckons
Bread nice and thick

A slice of ham with grated cheddar
A dollop of pickle to finish it off
Sitting down to write a poem
Sandwich in hand I start to scoff
Today the only soup I require
Is Poetry Soup
Merci Beaucoup...
