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.
