Ode to Instant Noodles

There you are in the cup I see
Swimming in your broth
No MSG to afflict me
Hidden deep beneath your froth

The Colombian didn’t believe in you
He said you’re just so cheap
But he didn’t need you as I do
His nasty criticisms ran deep

But here today I shlurp you up
I’ve got no energy to cook a pot
You’re easy made inside your cup
When sick, chicken soup is better bought
