Coffee soup!

My Grandad made me
coffee soup when I was just a lad,
his snack digested dentureless,
that never tasted bad.

He broke up saltine crackers,
in a large bowl almost full,
then poured in sweetened coffee,
that was steaming hot, not cool.

Perhaps learned as a hobo
when he used to ride the rails,
seeking work during the depression,
mixed in old tin pots or pails.


Coffee soup
hot tan goop,
that Grandpa
made me eat,
I'd rather gulp
down candy bars,
but that was
not to be,

All the crackers
swelled up giant sized
each form
a sodden mass,
then he'd slurp it down
with ooos and ahhs,
assured that it would pass.

It never was a gourmet feast,
but its flavor was unique
some ancient mix he'd handed down,
that he ate three times a week.

Coffee soup

made me eat,

but that was

But maybe my
grandpap was right
he was old and rather wise,
Coffee has anti-oxidants
it's a truly liquid prize,
He swore that it could cure
mumps, my fever and my croup,
And all I really needed
was a bowl of coffee soup
In fact I'm feeling
poor right now,
I think I'll have a cup...

Of coffee soup
hot, tan goop,
that my Grandpa
made me eat,
I'd rather gulp
down candy bars,
but that was
not to be.....

I ate it till
I was eighteen,
then suddenly lost my taste
for coffee soup, that chewy goop,
a caffeine infused paste.

But it can be addictive,
he slurped it till he died,
then Grandma washed his coffee bowl,
and dried it as she cried.

It's something everyone should try,
it tastes quite good you see,
so make a bowl, but tell no soul,
the recipe's from me.
