Gazpacho Soup
by @edwinb
Liner Notes
This piece of #ukulele #nonsense arose from a conversation with a filker (Ewan Clark, who has indicated that he is willing to take a share of the blame :)) at the UK filk con last weekend. He said this little story sounded like it could turn into a song and perhaps I could be the one to try.
I mostly say that so that I don't have to take all of the blame. Still, #sorrynotsorry
Lyrics
I knew I was in trouble I got shivers and a twitch When the one I inconvenienced turned out to be a witch
I thought I had got lucky when she blurted out the curse That I must eat delicious food suppose it could be worse
But later at the table receiving my order The waiter laid the bread and a glass of water And a bowl of [NC]Gazpacho soup
It wasn't what I asked for but still it tasted great Then I heard a distant cackle as he gathered up the plates
And I thought that we were even now the witch had made me pay As I pondered the next morning what I'd have to start the day
Pour out the corn flakes or a pair of shredded wheat But every time I breakfast it turns out I have to eat A bowl of [NC]Gazpacho soup
And every lunch or dinner, travel near or far Sitting down or takeaway, a cafe or a bar
Chocolate or a truffle or a pie or piece of cake Anything I roast or fry or anything I bake Toastie or a muffin or a hunk of well done steak No matter what I want to get I'll always have to take A bowl of [NC]Gazpacho soup
It's true what they say As I've always been told Revenge is a dish that is Best served cold
Whatever's in the oven, whatever I prepare I'll set it on the crockery but always waiting there Some delicious [NC]Gazpacho soup
Even Piers Morgan gets his vegan sausage roll But all I can look forward to is yet another bowl Of delicious [NC]Gazpacho soup

Oh dear a dish server cold! Clever play all around that pun! Entertained me!
That is a TERRIBLE joke and I shall give its provider a hard stare when I next see them. Excellent song, though – well drawn out to its conclusion. :)
There could be a sequel revealing that the way to break the curse is to intentionally make gazpacho soup. But I think I'll pass on writing it.
Strangest curse I have heard, but very modern witchy.
