Letters in my Soup
Swim with abandon
Swirl in my bowl
Clever little L’s
rub up next to O’s and V’s
Silent E’s track behind
Mind their P’s and Q’s
Sometimes tripping over a
a lazy Y grabbing some Z’s
provoking R’s and S’s who in their dotage
now need J’s to help them stay afloat.
Has life dealt them some hard K’s
Is the big C
coming with the MP’s?
My advice
was to get iN formation
and to spell out exactly
how they felt. They
came up with
LOL
OK
We C your point
and will catch U later
at the MD’s.
