Crackers and Cups
It's a chicken soup kind of day.
It's a vegetable party in progress.
Onions and carrots, celery galore,
A bag full of barley ...and more.
Wings from some chickens, eye of a newt,
A dash of this and a sprinkle of that.
I’m mixing elixir to warm up my soul.
I will eat it this evening in a magic soup bowl.
It’s bubbling and brewing on top of my stove.
The smell of it lingers about.
What I started this morning, and cooked through the day,
Will vanquish my hunger, of that there’s no doubt.
While sitting and watching the sun slowly sinking,
I’ll sip of my soup and be thinking.
Of the chicken soup day, and the vegetable party,
What a wonderful day I have had.~Jay Olson
