Miserable Grumpy and Mean

If I go a whole day without my Wheaties
I'm miserable, grumpy and mean
My Wheaties are really the only thing
Between me and a very bad scene

Beat up little kiddies but they must be little
Like two or three feet high or less 
None of those overgrown teenager dudes
My face would end up quite a mess

Don't think badly of me, it's the Wheaties
They provide me with real hutzpah
You best hide the kiddies if I run out of 'em
Hide the axes, knives and chainsaws

I did seek help but the psyche was like me
Needed his Wheaties to cope
Beat the living daylights out of yours truly
Whipped me with his stethoscope

Wheaties are required to maintain stability
So we don't go off the deep end
Had a great big giant bowlful this morning
So relax I'm real mellow again

Russell Sivey Date: 5/10/2013 11:39:00 AM We have Wheaties here my friend, I don't eat them, I'm not a huge fan! But I do know about the necessities of the morning ritual! I am like Carol, I must have my diet soda in the morning, that keeps me on the straight and narrow, ha ha! I really loved reading this delightful poem this afternoon! What a delightful piece, Great Work!! Login to Reply Jack Ellison Date: 5/10/2013 2:19:00 PM Wow, I'm not a diet soda fan in the morning! Anyway, we never ever have been able to buy Wheaties up here for some strange reason! I'm a Nabisco Shredded Wheat fan though! Cheers!

Eileen Manassian Date: 5/10/2013 10:42:00 AM Oh Jack! We don't have Wheaties here, or I'd consider shipping you some! :) I want you always jolly and safe! ;) Hugs!

Carol Eastman Date: 5/10/2013 8:10:00 AM Axes, chainsaws, and knives? EWWWWW! Shame on you. For me it's a glass of diet Coke for the morning caffeine... I don't beat anyone up... I just keep wanting to sleep all day without it. Dragon says I become quite BORING! Silly dragon then flies off to do double the mischief around town. That way everyone keeps calling me and the phone keeps waking me up... He knows how to hit where it hurts...Ouch! Fortunately, I just fall back to sleep.... A real sleepaholic without my morning caffeine. Login to Reply Jack Ellison Date: 5/10/2013 8:37:00 AM I enjoy beating up people, especially little kiddies! Makes me feel macho! For some unknown reason, we can't actually buy Wheaties up here in the frozen north! My fav is Nabisco Shredded Wheat... yummy yum yum! XOXOX

Kim Van Breda Date: 5/10/2013 7:34:00 AM Very clever and oh so true of some of our habits we can't live without. Are "Wheaties" like a wheat cereal? Excuse the ignorance but we don't get them here in S/Africa. Login to Reply Jack Ellison Date: 5/10/2013 7:41:00 AM YUP! You guessed it! It's a cereal that's been around since before I was born and that's a LONG LONG time! LOL Hugs, Jack xox
