Slurping Soup

Do you slurp when you eat your soup It's perfectly okay you know In the rules for soup, especially tomato Slurping SHOULD be audible I'm told Also messing up a clean white tuxedo Is also a law of the kitchen To proudly display it for a couple of days It proves you have been smitten It's definitely a sign of aristocracy it seems Servants used to wipe up the mess You'd never ever think of cleaning it yourself Beneath your standing I guess Eating your soup without some slurping Is banned in certain countries Also must dribble it's part of the scene And helps if you're wearing just undies © Jack Ellison 2014

HAH! We only had an outside picnic with tomato soup ONCE! All the squirrels wanted it! They DO love tomatoes you know! What a mess it was! We ended up with every squirrel in a 2 mile radius joining in. Really! Do you know how many napkin bibs that took? And they got to fighting over the soup after the first one's finished! Got to be 2-3 to a bowl before they were done. During the tug of wars over the bowls... well... A few were spilled. And one ended up side down, on Grandpa Trolls head!... LOL

Got it... Hubby had to explain it to Dragon and me... No! Dragon! That doesn't mean we're alike... At least I hope not! Whoops! He heard me... Gotta run!

My dictionary says a gannet is a large web footed water bird... Me thinks... it means more... I'll stay tuned for more...

PS. Got a little noisy from all the slurping... and Grandpa Trolls roars! HAH! Maybe we should do it again and make a video! Bet it would go viral!

To me it's Slurpingly Hilarious! Jack, I enjoy your capability of raising something so simple and common to a higher level...oh, apart from when some of it spills down :) enjoy your soup with a slurp. // paul

No, slurping is NOT permitted in Greece, nor have I found a place I have visited that it was and I have visited all continents! Probably I was not...lucky enough to find a place that was permitted! A greatly delightful poem! I loved it! Thank you my dear friend!
