An ode to soup

April is National Poetry Month.

With lentil soup in the soup kettle and poetry on our mind, we thought we'd share a favorite soup inspired poem.
If you feel inclined to drink a lake of lentil soup, we can arrange that for. Or more sensible sizes such as a cup, bowl, or a quart to take home to enjoy at home.

Sky Seasoning

A piece of sky
Broke off and fell
Through the crack in the ceiling
Right into my soup,
KERPLOP!
I really must state
That I usually hate
Lentil soup, but I ate
Every drop!
Delicious delicious
(A bit like plaster),
But so delicious, goodness sake--
I could have eaten a lentil-soup lake.
It's amazing the difference
A bit of sky can make.
