Alphabet Soup

Ahem...

She made Alphabet Soup for supper tonight,

I’m just a dumb kid, but it doesn’t seem right,

It gives me the squiggles, it gives me the quease,

To eat all the A's and the B’s and C’s.


She says, “Oh what fun! You can eat what you spell!"

But when I spell the word liver, I don’t feel very well,

My brother spelled puke and then gobbled it quickly

My sister spelled spinach and and made me feel sickly.


I tell ya, Alphabet Soup makes me just want to flee.

I’ll go to bed hungry, May I be excused please?

This silly little poem is linked to Alphabe-Thursday's Alphabet Soup. To read the other entries, just click here.

  2. That is just too cute. Now I feel badly that in all my 71 years, I have never had alphabet soup. Must correct that.
