Word Soup

Meat, meta, mate, team, tame
All different words but the letters the same
If you get confused, just remember the name
It means another mean or median lion's mane

Beat, beta, bate, mead, made, dame
Four letters can be versatile and far from lame
A meal for the soul, maelstrom, male name
Much to take in, so treat as a game

Game, mega, mage, lead, deal, dale
Perhaps you'd figure this idea would grow stale
Hardly, you've yet to hear the tale
Of the hare running late, its jacket a bright teal, what a steal

Laid, dial, leek, keel, loaf, foal
This word soup keeps pouring, so what is the goal?
A cafe saves face by saving the vase
The second before it can fall

East, eats, seat, sate, teas
Perhaps you could tell me what everyone else sees?
A cape keeps up pace, peeks at speaking peace
And in finite states there are tastes

Shut, huts, tush, hubs, bush
The possible speeds by with a daring whoosh
But by now, I've kept you long enough
Perhaps I missed some, but this rhyming thing is tough
