Poetry Soup

Heat a little nagging thought
and throw it in the pot.
Mix it well with several words,
the ones you use a lot.
Add a little common sense
to spice it up a bit
then let it simmer gently
until the words all fit.

If it seems a little thin 
then thicken it with rhyme
until it flows quite smoothly
as you cook up each line.
Then put in personality
to show who was the chef
and hope that your new Poetry Soup
is not an Eaton Mess!

Hahaha. What a smooth read, Ivor. Great rhyming, my friend. It's a dying art. I certainly enjoyed this broth. Licia :-)
