In November
it's so nice
to take leftovers, add some spice,
throw in a healthy dose of rice…
Serve it once
serve it twice
serve up turkey soup with rice.
In December
it's still good!
A time of peace and brotherhood--
feed your entire neighborhood!
Merry once
merry twice
yuletide turkey soup with rice.
In January
it will be
six and thirty years for me.
Soup throughout my century!
Aging once
greying twice
ageless turkey soup with rice.
In February
come the rains
spilling out our clogged-up drains.
Just make more soup, you broth-for-brains!
Raining once
pouring twice
teeming turkey soup with rice.
In March
I hope I'm in the loop
of Oscar winners--quite a group.
I'm up for most outstanding soup!
Leading once
supporting twice
thank you turkey soup with rice.
In April
both my Aries women
find their birthday bowls a-brimmin'.
Fill the pool--let's all go swimmin'!
Back stroke once
breast stroke twice
float in turkey soup with rice.
In May
it turns quite lovely here.
We'll barbecue with summer near--
just heat the soup and ice the beer!
Grill it once
spill it twice
charcoal turkey soup with rice.
In June
we venture to the beach,
where Prufrock dared to eat a peach.
But we'll just keep our spoons in reach.
Salty once
sandy twice
waves of turkey soup with rice.
In July
the firecrackers
light the way for soupy snackers.
I'll have mine with oyster crackers!
Sparkle once
dazzle twice
bang-bang turkey soup with rice.
In August
it can be quite hot,
so soup intake goes down a lot.
But just refrigerate the pot!
Save it once
crave it twice
late night turkey soup with rice.
In September
leaves start falling
and the school bus comes a-calling
but my soup supply is falling.
Horde it once
dilute it twice
stretch that turkey soup with rice.
In October
lots of fun:
Our new addition's turning one.
And the wait is almost done!
Renew it once
re-do it twice
here comes more turkey soup with rice!
I told you once
I told you twice
Thanksgiving is a time that's nice
for eating turkey soup with rice.
