When I was little
I liked to eat
alphabet soup,
so that I could
play with my food
and not get into trouble.
But of course,
I got in beaucoup doodoo
anyway when my mom
read the messages in my bowl.
To this day I remember
a few words I spelled out
that would show up as
***!!!!###@@@!!
if this server's word checker
got hold of them in a Pips post.
I never really ate
any of the alphabet soup,
preferring plain tomato
with grilled cheese,
if you please.
But it sure was an educational
adventure at the table,
and it helped me zoom
two grades ahead
in my reading level.

What did you do
with your soup?
