Jerry T Curtis Poet Rhyme

Notes About The Poem

Thin Soup

I'm just sitting here
waiting for the ladle
To pass along to me,
those tasty things
I'm anxious for what's lying in its cradle
Letters forming words that often ring


But I'm looking in my bowl and it's half empty
The pot looks like it's barren to the bone
There's no meat or veggies , and I'm painfully aware
I'm sitting at the table all alone


There's no cake or cookies
No pies no candies
No wine at all
liqueurs or brandy

There's no dinner rolls
Baguette or sweet buns
And where in the hell 
Is everyone ?

Jan Allison June 21, 2015 at 10:39 AM I agree with you - its a sad soup these days Jerry - its pretty lack lustre with no spice and to be honest its quite rancid at times - few comments and some I have seen are far from complimentary :-( Hugs Jan xx Jerry T Curtis June 22, 2015 at 3:24 PM Thanks for coming by Jan, but as you can see, there was only enough soup for one, and the kid got it, lol
