It'll take a village

Nov 14, 2008

According to an old story, a beggar comes to a village, carrying an empty pot. He fills the pot with water, drops a large stone in it, and starts cooking in the square.

One of the villagers asks what he's doing, to which he replies that he is making "stone soup", which tastes wonderful, although it still needs a little "something something" to improve the taste. The villager (although rather stingy) doesn't mind parting with a few vegetables, so these get added to the soup. Another villager walks by, inquiring about the pot, and the beggar gives him the "stone soup" spiel once again. The villager gives him a little bit of celery to help out.

As word gets around (like it does in small villages) more and more people walk by, each adding another ingredient. Finally, a delicious pot of stone soup is bubbling on the fire, and is more than enough to share with everyone.

Now, back to our regular review:

If Healthy Choice
Had a voice
This tasteless phony
Minestrone
Would be begging to be put out of its misery

Potatoes, dried
Lurk inside
And the puny pasta
Spells disasta
For this unappetizing bowl of goopy stew

I see dead peas
And celeries
And other odd stuff
But not enough
To give this soup a flavor that could be considered "natural"

I would suggest
For the best
That it would be wise
To economize
And try a stone instead of shelling out your hard earned bread for this
