December

In December

I will be

a baubled bangled

Christmas tree

with soup bowls

draped all over me.

Merry once

merry twice

merry chicken soup

with rice.

November

In November’s

I will flop my flippy tail

and spout hot soup.

I’ll be a whale!

Spouting once

spouting twice

spouting chicken soup

with rice.

October

In October
I'll be host
to witches, goblins
and a ghost.
I'll serve them
chicken soup
with toast.
Whoopy once
Whoopy twice
Whoopy chicken soup
with rice.
