Beautiful Soup
by Lewis Carroll
BEAUTIFUL Soup, so rich and green,
Waiting in a hot tureen!

Beau- ootiful Soo-oop!
Soo- oop of the e- e- evening,
Beautiful, beautiful Soup!

by Amy Lowell

With a great many windows and doors,
There are stairs that go up, and stairs that go down,

And the bookroom, and parlour and all,

And folk was buying nuts.
All up and down the country,

There Was An Old Poop From Poughkeepsie

There was an old poop from Poughkeepsie,
Who tended, at night, to be tipsy.
Said he, ''My last steps
Aren't propelled by just Schweppes! '' -
That peppy old poop from Poughkeepsie.
Sisyphus

The laundry and dishes
pile up. My wife says she knows
how Sisyphus feels.
Beholder

Beauty is in the one
who beholds. Will you hold bees
and look at me now?
Gift
by Peter Quitadamo
Each day is a gift.
Some are a beautiful ring.
Some ill-fitting socks.
Magnum opus
by Peter Quitadamo
My magnum opus
is not losing it on the
fools. Mostly, myself.
What's Your Name?
by Gilligan Snolepart
Once upon a time
There was a bear called Bear
And a dog called Doug
and a cat called Cat
And a sheep call Hugh
And a dolphin called Delphine
And an Ox call Leon
