Nutty For Grape-Nuts

For breakfast or with Sunday brunch, there’s a cereal I like a bunch. But to quietly eat, one can’t be too discreet munching nuggets that have a BIG crunch. It’s Grape-Nuts! They fill up your gut with barley and wheat goodness, but do not be too miffed if through them you sift and find not ONE grape or one nut! Its nutritional value is high, but I pile it up to the sky with sugar or honey. I guess I’m just funny, even sweetening my Cocoa Puffs! (sigh)
For PD's (LIMERICK) your Favorite Cereal Poetry Contest

Andrea This is a creative and silly write. I tried grape nuts a few times, but it made my jaw hurt too much. LOL Thanks for the awesome comment on my Horsie poem. Hugs

I used to love grape nuts - let them soften under milk for a few minutes then yum. My dad always doused them in coffee - false teeth. Luck in the crunchy contest. Love, daver

funny :P i like your 3rd stanza, but i don't think you need it. i think it would be a better ending if you ended with not finding a grape or a nut. just my 2 cents. hope you don't mind me saying so. i'm sure it will do great in the contest either way!

LOL, I really must try some of these cereals - I haven't found one I like yet, though! I really don't like eating at 6.30 am...and cereals - urghh. Maybe I should write about a 'cereal' killer! Hope you're feeling much, much better now.

Forget the SERVING SIZE, huh, Andrea! YOu are like me! Heck, I could eat cereal 3x a day and not have a dirty kitchen to clean. A wonderful triplet limerick! Did you eat 3 big bowls of cereal while you scribed it? Gwendolen-(Thanks for reading and commenting on my work. )
