Soup du Jour

I am not the biggest fan,

Of soup that comes out of a can,

And if my meal is only soup,

My spirit really starts to droop.

But add a muffin or a roll,

Its virtue now I will extol,

And, soups on diets never fail,

To bring a smile on bathroom scale.

Now with a flair as a side dish,

To compliment; it is delish,

You never, ever take a risk,

To try a cup of lobster bisque.

Clam or oyster chowder’s great,

Once ordered I will salivate,

Now stir the oyster crackers in,

The thought of it can make me grin.

And finally a soup with kick,

Is one that I will surely pick,

Yes, I will beam and gladly sigh,

If tears are rolling from my eye.

So now you know how soup will win,

Within my meal plan's regimen,

It can be pleasing; that’s for sure,

Let’s give a cheer for “Soup du Jour”!
