Breakfast of Champions

Old CAP'N CRUNCH was hanging out one day With the bunch at SPECIAL K Ranch When FROOT LOOPS from the city rode by With their pay CHEX in their pants Greeted them each with warm CHEERIOS Asked them if they'd ever SHREDDED WHEAT They were full of PEP and said no not yet His shock was TOTAL and COMPLETE So he thought he'd show these SUGAR PUFFS Just how cow pokes get their KIX He mounted his faithful horse APPLE JACKS And performed a bunch of neat TRIX He turned on the JETS and performed like a vet Wearing LUCKY CHARMS on his belt Landed on his MUFFET when his horse reared up Crushed his NUTS 'N HONEY they swell't ©Jack Ellison 2012
