THE SOUP GUIDE TO THE SCIENCE FICTION MALE

THE SOUP GUIDE TO THE SCIENCE FICTION MALE

A Sonnet by Cara King

If Heinlein’s men eat soup with lots of meat,
And save the universe with brawn and brain,
Then Scalzi’s men (who follow Heinlein’s) eat
Gazpacho, not as macho, but more sane.

Galactica is rife with angst and loss,
So Jamie Bamber eats his soup and sighs.
But Stargate’s men are happier because
When Browder has some chowder no one dies.

The Kzinti like to eat their prey alive,
So Niven’s cats have soup with lots of crunch;
Be wary if they smile when you arrive:
Their smiling is beguiling, when you’re lunch.

A spaceman’s soup reveals the truth inside.
(The artificial gravity’s implied.)
