Soup Contest
Soup Contest
The day was Sunday
The time was just after noon
Church had just finished
The choir that day enchanting
You could feel the anticipation in the air
A Soup contest like no other
Everyone in the village was there
Young, old, the happy and the sad
All where hungry though
Who would be the winner?
Of the Magical Soup Festival
Who Who Indeed!!!
Seven finalists, all nervous and shaking
Will it be me, of she or she over there?
You could smell the flavors of competition
Beautiful aromas floating in the air
Now I was the judge in this contest fair
I too nervous, how to choose a winner
Did I even Dare?
Then a thought dawned, happy was I
Mondays prize, to the Chicken veggie soup
Tuesdays prize to the Cream of mushroom soup
Wednesdays prize to the Wedding broth soup
Thursday prize to the Noodle and beef soup
Fridays prize to the Bergen fish soup
Saturdays prize to the Barley and Oats Soup
Sundays prize to the Corn Chowder soup
I placed 7 beautiful first prize ribbons
On the happiest smiling faces I had ever seen
My heart this day warmed by soup and the kindness
Of all these giving cooks, proud and content
The contest over
All the village sat down
To the festival of Soup
Full stomachs and happy souls
A winning event all around!!!!
Notes: Often we create our environments and realities with our conceptions of life, For one to win, it dos not mean another has to lose, competition is great, however, kindness and compassion, are also great traits.
