Snapper Soup
Turtle soup to some is a sumptuous, sweet stew
Full of flavor, a favorite of families, not a few
Formed from the flesh of fresh turtle, so tasty
Hot… in high demand, a delightful delicacy
Made up of the meat, skin and innards of a turtle
For a super turtle soup, steam a snapping turtle
It was President William H Taft’s favorite food
…a brown soup, tastes like a thick gravy, so good
Snapper soup as it is being called by some of us
…is a luxury in some lands, sweet and sumptuous.
