Surfing the web is an imperfect science
Putting the screws to each steadfast alliance
And while it is far from flawless, too
This "Poetry Soup" is a hot, tasty stew
Slow-cooked, spicy, and savory-laced
It's rife with flavors, (just add to taste)
Seasoned with wit and a whimsy, wry
The finest that poetic license can buy
All discerning palates will find a repast
With poetic relish from each wond'rous caste
Prime prose to chew on, served up and plated
To make sure your hunger is properly sated
Be it sugary, sour or tart piquant zest
With ripe wordy fare we're cooking our best
We've lyrics and ballads and sonnets galore
Grand banquets of verse from table-to-floor
A bit of the bitter, our melancholy blurts
Yet sweeter-than-sweet are our just desserts
So give us a taste, I think you'll agree
That this "Poetry Soup" is a bowl of esprit
And should we e'er suffer for poetic cream
Don't fret, there's no limit to what we can dream!
