Jack Ellison Poet Rhyme

Clumps of Dead Grass

Eating a bowl of shredded wheat
Is like eating big clumps of dead grass
Now I know why horsies simply can't wait
For each horrible meal to finally pass

We feed 'em this stuff to reward these guys
Has anyone asked them their thoughts
Might be surprised at the answer you'd get
“We'd rather be eating smelly socks”

Someone once said many decades ago
It will give your kiddies strong bones
So feed 'em these horrible clumps of dead grass
It's why they can't wait to leave home 

Don't be fooled by this marketing ploy
It's the cheapest damn stuff they can find
It grows in the field almost everywhere you look
They must think we don't have a mind

Damn shredded wheat, what horrible stuff
It's not fit for human consumption
Please sign my petition to ban it forever
Absolutely no value is my assumption!

L Milton Hankins October 4, 2022 at 8:06 AM Oh dear Jack, although I loved your poem, of all the cereals shredded wheat is one of my favorites. Yep, it does have that consistency, but with soaked with milk and sugar...Ummm, delicious. See we all have our different tastes! Jack Ellison October 4, 2022 at 8:16 AM Actually as I told Kim I have since acquired a taste for Post Shredded Mini Wheat! There's no accounting for our tastes as w grow to maturity! Cheers my mate!
