I thought I'd make some turkey soup
From the carcass left from Thanksgiving
It is not the same as chicken soup
Which is  touted to improve your living

The broth is getting a little thicker
As the bones are all falling loose
I'm glad we chose a turkey now
And dinner was not a ham or goose

I'll sprinkle in some poultry seasoning
See whatever in the cabinet I should find
Of course, I must use some reasoning
I think, as I add parsley flakes and thyme.

As my concoction stews all together
It works itself into quite a brew
I start to add in some vegetables
Cut up smaller than I do for stew.

Leftovers veggies from the freezer
Will add to the fresh ones I lack
Until finally the noodles are added
Which are thin and very flat

And such is that of Turkey soup!
