Chicken Soup

Such stuff as dreams are made on

– Shakespeare

Chicken Soup

Dressed with carrots, corn and peas

So darned delicious; she brings me to my knees

Onions and okra adorn her too

She makes me feel good through and through

Tomatoes and barley bolster her stock

When I'm with her I don't watch the clock

Healing and happy I want her to see

She makes all pleasant as pleasant can be

I made her with heart; solely from scratch

Tasting so good I'm making the next batch

To have her to hold her to keep her around

 Is better than all night, any night, on the town

Her fragrance is rich she saves me a stitch

Her perfume is sweet  with nutritious meat

Embracing and loving and warm through and through

I'll make her forever, I'll make her for you too.
