Strange Cream of Wheat Box

Do you think it a trifle odd,
when dirt clumps in a clod?
and more exquisite and grand,
when separated into sand?
If that's the way soil moves you,
It would certainly behoove you,
when preparing Cream of Wheat
to stir often over medium heat.

Thanks for the tip. I personally prefer the taste of Cream of Wheat more than the clumpy sand. This is a funny poem.

Glad you liked it Karen, haha, I wasn't going there. As you might be able to tell, I don't think I hardly knew where I was going. :-)
