Yummy Soup

Campbell’s Soup
Is a favorite of mine.
As a child, I enjoyed this
time after time.  

Bowl after bowl was
delicious to taste. 
Hardly any of it ever went
to waste (or my waist).

And then when I grew up
(Well, thought that I was)
I moved on to Progresso.
It is healthy good fun.

Now Swanson Chicken Broth 
Is a favorite of mine.
It is so tasty 
time after time.

Livens up mashed potatoes
to invigorate the tongue.
All that is experienced is 
a whole lot of yum!

But the soup most pleasing
is the “soup” I found on this site.
It is healthy, and yummy
and always ”tastes right.”

It feeds so many and
The soup never runs out.
I “eat” every word with 
my poetry “mouth.”

No matter what “real” soup 
I eat day by day,
Poetrysoup’s thought-soup 
is the one that I crave!
