Your Soup Is Ready

Your special mushroom soup is brewing.
The witches were cackling.
And giving me funny looks.

You are our taste-tester
The oldest, toothless one said.
I readily nodded.

Thinking they would have to
release me from these well-tied ropes
so I could hold a utensil.

Not realizing they aimed
to spoon feed me.
My mistake.

I truly would rather have cake or pie or something in the form of a potato chip. Hi Jan! Thanks for stopping by.
