ODE TO CHICKEN SOUP

Chicken soup is a wonder drug

It can cure most anything

Nothing beats it for a cold

Or any flu a bug can bring

 

I’ve heard that Jewish mothers make

The very best soup of all

But any brand will do the trick

When you feel an illness call

 

I’ve tried it myself a time or two

When I’m feeling very ill

A week of eating chicken soup

Will give you a cure or a kill

 

I wouldn’t be surprised to hear

That taken externally

Chicken soup will clear right up

Warts, lumbago, and fleas

 

So give a toast to chicken soup

It’s better than taking drugs

And Raid is no comparison

When it comes to killing bugs
