Splashing Around In The Soup


Just received a message of love From a dear sweet soul in the Soup It blew me away brought a tear to my eye To feel such love whatta a hoot These friendships here are quite common The Soup is a place of goodwill Where all can express our deepest feelings Where our dreams are all fulfilled A little voice inside keeps saying “write something different” Different to what may I ask? I have surely written about every subject There is to write about No no! I can't write about THAT! I'd get censored and my lifetime membership Would be revoked Anyway, writing that stuff is only to get attention It's called “sensationalism” The world press is particularly guilty of it I understand they're in the business to sell papers And add mucho dollars to their respective bank accounts BUT a little discretion at times would certainly be in order I'm not referring to any one particular article or story Just expressing my thinking Perhaps if events weren't sensationalized as much The lunatic fringe would be more concerned with other things Such as what they have to be thankful for Instead of complaining about what others have and they don't Am I dreaming???
