Nail soup hits hunger on the head A woman, who lived alone, was hungry and had been hunâ€" gry lor a long time. She was weak. She put a pot of water on the stove to boil and fell faint on the floor. The pot boiled dry and rattled so much that the nails in the ceiling vibrated loose and fell into the pot. The woman‘s neighbors heard the noise and burst into her kitchen. They found her on the floor and the pot of nails on the stove. When they discovered that her cupboards wer bare, they all ran back to their homes for food. They brought leftovers, fresh produce and canned goods. It all went into the pot. When the woman was revived and sitting up, she had a pot of soup to eat. The RV world has introâ€" duced us to nail soup. At a recent rally everyone was asked to bring an ingredient from his or her refrigerator or pantry. We know that leftovers make the best soup, however, the concept made us a bit anxâ€" ious. When the ingredients are not planned, one could end up with a pot of disaster. Then again, a pinch of an herb or spice might be all that is To enter, send one original poem to the Poetry Institute of Canada, PO Box 5577 Victoâ€" ria, BC V8R 654.
