Original DDE™ surreal triptych: “Soupersational” by: rob kistner © 10/10/23
Vegetable soup — a tasty treat
good for you delicious to eat
onions and beans of every kind
guaranteed to blow yer mind
add some chunked potatoes too
that’s the very next thing to do
add carrots now to make it great
smells fabulous — I can’t wait
put in a bit of chopped celery
and a zesty pepper just for me
then diced tomatoes rich’n’red
this soup’s gonna knock’m dead
wonderful as this soup may be
something’s missing here to me
my culinary heart would break
should this meal be absent steak

The soup sounds delicious, and you’ve made your point. 😉
Bit’o fun Merril… 🙂
If I remember correctly this would be perfect if you start from a nail 🙂
Sorry that came from a Swedish tale… that is still an idiom

If you look at the music offerings below my poem entitled “Let Them Eat Soup”, Dr. Hook started soup with a stone — a soup stone. I am certain a nail might work… 😉

This is deliciously constructed, Rob! You have inspired me to try and make some vegetable soup 😀 We are currently enjoying Autumn here .. with cold winds and cardigans and socks! Sending love!
Thank you Sanaa… 🙂
