Soupy Spoons

Chicken soup is good to eat
When I'm sick it's quite a treat
But once I ate it with a fork
My oh my, it took such torque!
Don't you ever try to do it
For you very much will rue it!

One time at my old job, one of the elderly volunteers was running excitedly around the room, shouting something that sounded like "soupy spoons, soupy spoons!" It was a noisy environment, and it took me a couple of hours to realize he was cheering us on in our work by saying "silky smooth! Silky smooth!" As in, "everything's going great, keep it up!" I have a hard time holding back my laughter every time I remember that.
