Sense Sonnet - Pumper

 My Favorite Soup

The male swallow bird made the nest,

Strands of salivary cement.

Limestone cave location is best.

When all swallow birds are absent

The nest is harvested, and then

Soaked in cool water overnight.

Add some red dates and sugar in,

Then simmer till the nest tastes right,

A gelatinous texture fine,

And should taste delicately sweet.

Served warm when I'm ready to dine.

I can't wait to begin to eat.

Chinese cuisine delicacy,

This bird nest soup yum yum for me.
