Cheerios To Go

Constipation as we all too well know

Disrupts everybody’s natural flow

     I welcome the Cheerios

     When the tummy bulging grows

Shout out to the toilet, “Look out below!”

The Cheerios factory was right next to the football practice field. When I was in the 4th grade and not yet sure what football was all about, the closer I got to the field the more I could smell the Cheerios and the more nervous I would get. Now whenever I smell Cheerios I feel nervous until I figure out why. Ahh Pavlov
