O, glorious hot & sour soup...

How I love thee.
Thou art spicy and textured
With your shoots of bamboo and
many varied mushrooms.

Such a vision
yet so repellent to those unfamiliar
with your mouthwatering contrasts.

Thou art my true love, hot & sour soup.

We shall live ere in bliss
and dream of large bowls of
soupy happiness.
