Soupe Du Jour

A cockroach did some backstrokes in Clyde's soup He was quite alarmed and thrown for a loop The waiter said no sweat Sir, there's no need to fret He won't consume very much of your soup

Finally got here.sorry, I am not around much anymore.my Dad would tell me that last line of your poem, i never thought he was funny bot thay was 80 years ago! )) I found a dead cockroach in my salad in Chicago years ago, and I was very obsessed. The people around me were going shh don’t make noise. I thought why not people should know before they find one in theirs. Nothing like a dead cockroach with his feet pointing toward the heavens and I’m supposed to be cool? Pangie

Interesting that you became acquainted with roaches! I actually had one floating in my coffee at the Officers club. I didn't make a big issue of it & they gave Vera & I the meals at no cost. The base commander called me next day with apologies! Bob

Plus, he adds a little more protein, no extra charge. Thanks for the giggle.
