Sky Seasoning

A piece of sky

Broke off and fell

Through the crack in the ceiling

Right into my soup,

KERPLOP!

I really must state

That I usually hate

Lentil soup, but I ate

Every drop!

Delicious delicious

(A bit like plaster),

But so delicious, goodness sake--

I could have eaten a lentil-soup lake.

It's amazing the difference

A bit of sky can make.
