Little tiny things That move around there. Looking down, see They're looking up at me. Strange things can be seen. They're scattered sparsely. Strange things that are green. But are not parsley. In my bowl they make Their little aqua cave. Soup was meant to be Completely free of all Extraneous debris. Student Life Except for now and then A noodle or some rice, q But these things are not nice. See them swimming. Splashing, thriving. Holy smoke. They're scuba diving! In my bouillabaisse, looked and then saw a tiny face With large antennae. And heard him say, Ummm, the soup is good, today! —Alan Sherman ’Friends are like music, sometimes they're sad.
