At the end of the victorious war, Willy-nilly
Against the epidemic, a contest was held to crown
The container delicacy , most chosen and emptied fully ;
Imagine the viers lot from all quarters flown :
Mexican, Thai, Chinese, Indian, Local and all ;
Plain, spiced, soft, crisp, jelly and stuffy ,
Set and arranged in a musical buffet hall ,
All moods to turn pleasant from being huffy --
Of clairvoyants, connoisseurs and persons elite ;
The task was just to eat and perform a feat ;
The starter's ' go ' was given and the show began ,
Old and young, lean and hefty , woman and man ,
Had but only one container to Scoup-stream :
The motley flavoured and soul-satiable , Ice-Cream...!

My nose is redder than red
The flu has put me in bed
I sniffle and drip
I can’t get a grip
For there’s pure lead in my head
Coughed up a poem or two
That might not make sense to you
The germs and the phlegm
Have covered this gem
Clean it, for it is…true blue!
It’s been a miserable day
Been grumpy all the way
But for this great SOUP
You guys are the scoup
Much better than meds…. I’ll say!
