Step Right Up for Super Soup!
One Super Soup per super person.
That’s two soups per super pair.
One scoop of soup for super you, sir.
There’s no Super Soup to spare.
My Super Chef swoops in and says,
“Pure Super Soup I do pursue.”
My SuperDuper Soup is due for
supervisor soup review!
Oops, my soup is all scooped up,
all I’ve got’s a can of goop.
Perhaps I’ll pull a switcheroo
and serve a SuperDuper Dupe!
My Supervisor Super Chef
scoops some goop, just a sip…
Whoop! He does a loop-the-loop,
my Super Dupe Soup makes him zip!
Perhaps my dupe is not just goop,
my Super Dupe’s been Super Soup’d!
But as for me, this SuperDuper
Soup Duper’s super pooped.
That’s two soups per super pair.
One scoop of soup for super you, sir.
There’s no Super Soup to spare.
My Super Chef swoops in and says,
“Pure Super Soup I do pursue.”
My SuperDuper Soup is due for
supervisor soup review!
Oops, my soup is all scooped up,
all I’ve got’s a can of goop.
Perhaps I’ll pull a switcheroo
and serve a SuperDuper Dupe!
My Supervisor Super Chef
scoops some goop, just a sip…
Whoop! He does a loop-the-loop,
my Super Dupe Soup makes him zip!
Perhaps my dupe is not just goop,
my Super Dupe’s been Super Soup’d!
But as for me, this SuperDuper
Soup Duper’s super pooped.
