A Comparative of Soups
It's true that pork 'n' beans have
chunks that are winning
And Indian spiced pumpkin
sets your heart spinning
Pho bo's delightful, cod soup's disarming
jjamppong, French lentil --charming
Japanese dashi, vichyssoise's sweet
tater soup's smashing, pozole's a treat
Bread and butter with escarole-and-white-bean
bring wonderful company, time and again
Delish Italian wedding soup in Orte
try this and you're a jolly good sport
But cream of the crop, tip of the top
it's Poetry Soup, and there we stop!

I wrote it to the tune of the following lyrics
("It's a Jolly Holiday" from Mary Poppins---
"...It's true that Mavis and Sybil 'ave
Ways that are winning
And Prudence and Gwendolyn
Set your 'eart spinning
Phoebe's delightful, Maude is disarming
Janice, Felicia, Lydia--charming
Cynthia's dashing, Vivian's sweet
Stephanie's smashing, Priscilla a treat
Veronica, Millicent, Agnes, and Jane
Convivial company, time and again
Dorcas and Phyllis and Glynis are sorts
I'll agree are three jolly good sports
But cream of the crop, tip of the top
It's Mary Poppins, and there we stop!")
