Soup Soup Beautiful Soup-Magpie Tales 106



Soup soup beautiful soup
Eat it with a spoon
Eat it with a scoop
Eat it with noodles
Share it with poodles
Empty up that can
Paint it like a man
That clever man Andy
He was so handy
With paint and brush
There was no rush
Who would have thought
That a can bought
Could bring such fame
To the Campbell name

  2. If it's soup it must be Campbell's! Warhol ensured that!

  6. Who knew advertising was art back in the day? I enjoyed your poem Kathe. Few would argue that Andy was a clever man. Thanks for sharing.

  7. I like the Dr. Seuss feeling of your poem ... at first I thought you were heading in the "soup, soup the musical fruit" direction.

  11. It was certainly a great bit of advertising. I don’t think Campbells did badly out of it.

  21. "Eat it with a scoop"
    I love it!

  22. Excellent and great fun!

    "Share it with poodles" -- that line has just endeared you in Bonbon's heart. My Standard Poodle just loves soup poured over her dry dog food (but prefers Safeway Deli's chicken and noodle to Campbell's....).

  23. Wonderful stuff....and that's another result for Campbells/Warhol...I fancy some Cream of Tomato now, I do!
