The Craziest Time In the Soup

I’m having the craziest time in the Soup
I never knew how perilous that it could be.
But since I landed here loopity-loop,
I’ve felt like the chicken of some really weird sea.

It sure looked delicious the first time that I flew
over the attractive bowl, so that’s why I swooped down.
But  then I got too low; my small body, it fell through
the surface of the creamy soup! Oh I fear I’ll drown!

My wings, how they’ve struggled, but it’s just too thick.
Cream of chicken, so tasty, is going to be my demise.
I’m sinking and I’m sinking and now I feel so sick.
Farewell! Beware of Soup, my dear fellow flies!

Another one I let slip by... my, how time 'flies'! So cute and clever, Andrea, being a fly drowning in the Soup! I bet Caren will be charmed by this.

Poetry Solar System is a far more spacious name, less scope (perhaps) for soup comparisons such as too hot, etc.
