Hear! Hear! Our cook is true to his word! Soup should never be shaken, just gently stirred. Here only five minutes, not even an hour. Someone threw in vile seasoning, that made our soup sour. There are certain ingredients that should never be put in. But they have made a fresh batch, with a pinch of rescind. They have made a deletion of those too acidic. Why must there always be a poetry soup critic. There is a moral to this story in case you’ve been shook. Stay out of the kitchen if you know you can’t cook. You can always change the name of poorly made dish. But never the smell, a fish smells like fish.

Clever metaphors in this creative poem Mark. I can’t cook so you won’t find me anywhere near a kitchen. : ) Have a great Christmas. Blessings xxoo

Certain kitchen staff have cleared out their locker and gone elsewhere, now we can enjoy nice tasty soup again. Merry Christmas Mark Tom

I read this and remembered a poem I posted here years ago... Piranha in the Soup...posted 12/24/15. I guess that title holds true.

So true! The ultimate nasty fish!

Love it Mark, so true, a bad fish will always ruin the rich soup stock.

Thanks Tania! Every time. We’ll just dump it out in the garbage and make a new pot.

A fish will always smell fishy no matter what name it is called

You said it, Mark. "Certain ingredients... should never be put in." I'm only wondering how long the "peace" will last. Seems to me it has been quieter the last three or four days, and I like that! Merry Christmas, friend.

Thanks for the warning, Mark. I'll not bother reading the menu. Think I'll pack my own lunch on my next visit. Acidic food and smelly fish are not appealing to me at all.
