Stirring the Pot

I'm ready for my soup, please tell me Mama
What's you're gonna add to make it good
I hope you put in just a pinch, of rhyme
And a half of cup of wit, if you would

You know I like to watch it as it bubbles
But I think, you should cook it really slow
"Cause when it burns, on the very bottom
I have to shut my eyes and hold my nose

I know that you know, that I'm hungry
and making tasty soup will take some time
So, please let me stir it very slowly
While I sneak in, just another pinch of rhyme

I am a soup lover and I love this one! I also love the "pinch of rhyme" which is a wonderful ingredient to add that would make it taste soooo good! It's a 7 from me and have a wonderful weekend! Pandita.
