The Cereal Poet
Poems
Upon this box, a sonnet bold and bright,
In breakfast mode, where
crunch and munch collide,
A poet’s whim, a morning’s pure
delight,
With flakes of joy, and milk as soft as tide.
“Ode to the oats!” the cheerful words proclaim,
“Each spoonful
sings of sunshine, sweet and round,
In every bite, a symphony of
grain,
A crunchy dance, where laughter can be found.”
Yet
here I sit, with spoon in hand, bemused,
For poetry and breakfast
seem at odds,
A rhyme for cereal? I’m quite confused,
But
munching, I say ‘bollocks’ to the sods,
I’ve written this crap
about cereal,
I hope the milk wasn’t bacterial.
