I really think it’s clever
I really like the name
Bringing ice cream and soup together
It’s “Scoups” I will acclaim
16 flavors of ice cream
The kinds we love the most
I scream for ice cream
To that I will give a toast
“Scoups” I would say is a family affair
They all help each other out
Kimberly, Geoff and Michelle
Along with many young adults
Work the business from the inside and out
I must mention their “Scoupierior Cards”
They are given to the elementary schools
As each child does well in class
It’s free ice cream and no rules
Now of course, there is soup
3 homestyle choices every day
Each served in a sourdough bread bowl
To warm and comfort you on your way
16 months in business
With family values at the core
Whether it’s a scoup of their ice cream
Or soup that is scouped with a ladle
You’ll be coming back for more
