Frosted flakes are never falling

into my cereal bowl

instead I see it teaming

with crisp life-rings of O's

 

There is no grander ocean

to which I get to go

than this milky sea of cereal

awash in Cheerios

 

They say that every rising tide

will swiftly lift all boats

indeed the same is also said

about this bowl of oats

 

The more the milk the higher they rise

O see how nice they float

what pleasure brims right at the rim

my bowl of Cheery O's.
