Alphabet Soup

Mom gave me a bowl of soup 

That had a bunch of letters. 

So I spelled out FRENCH POODLES 

And then spelled IRISH SETTERS.

Next I spelled FINNISH LAPHOUND, 

Then even though it was hard, 

Spelled MEXICAN CHIHUAHUA 

And then I spelled SAINT BERNARD.

But when I spelled out HOUSE CAT 

The dogs all tried to get her. 

She jumped out of my soup bowl, 

Chased by a ROSMORE SETTER!

Soup spilled all over the floor 

And made a terrible mess. 

It splattered all down the front 

Of Aunt Lilly’s Sunday dress.

Well Mama’s quite unhappy 

And Aunt Lilly’s kind of sore. 

It seems to me that no one 

Believes the truth any more!
