A friend of mine (a very clever and witty person) has had several poems published at Very Bad Poetry (“the last refuge for the world’s worst poetry”). This is my favorite:
A Bowl Of Friendship Soup
By Ceejay Writer
I want to fly away with you
In a shiny spoon-shaped ship
Off to a planet made of soup
Where we can swim and sip!We’ll loll about on a cracker shore,
Beneath the crouton moons
And gawk at creatures in broth galore
Made of noodles, singing tunes.And when we’ve had our fun and fill
Of landscapes so enchanted
We’ll come back home and never will
Take minestrone for granted.

I love that poem. It’s like a good Jack Prelutsky poem–my kids loved him–and I did too.
