Why should we get put down
Who call out a miserable bully?
She who longs for a notable crown,
Finding delight in criticizing us fully,
Picking on folks who are successful
Enjoying our time here at the Soup,
Making for some of our lives stressful
Dishing out nasty like a nincompoop!

You can't dish out fairness like you do lollies,
As what is fair for one is not fair for all.
Sooner or later you will be dishing out unfairness,
As you try to please all.
Communities may be better judges of what is fair,
Than central government.
Red tape is an obstacle to fair,
And greed is another.
The best we can hope for is that
Those dishing it out show up to hear what others fear.

I watch talented chefs on tv
And how they make it look so easy
Massive walk-in refrigerators
Recipes for bold innovators
Freshest produce exotic and rare
Excessive abundance they do prepare
Combining components with finesse
Topping lush dishes with watercress
