Cheers originated in the U.K.,
a long time ago, and is used
as a toast as most people know..
It later evolved into cheerio, a
form of farewell said to folks
as they go..
Wanting to bring joy to the breakfast table,
General Mills chose cheerios as his cereal label.

When they grow up, Cheerios become donuts
And the holes are used for losing weight in grownups
Better than nothing
What's all the fussing
Don't know about youse guys but sounds kinda bogus

Those little holes in Cheerios
boast a flavor all their own,
distinctly Iowan, distinctly unique,
Nothingness here is not outshone,
in nourishment or things antique.

Got a cute li'l doggie by the name of Spot
Loves Cheerios, spends loads of time at the trough
But don't sell him short
Can be a real mean sort
"Got no Cheerios, then F-OFF!”

When allowed to grow, Cheerios turn into donuts
Also the holes are used for losing weight in grownups
Better than nothing
What's all the fussing
Don't know about youse guys but sounds kinda bogus

YOUR MORNING TOAST AND CHEERIOS
I'll be the wind that blows your hair
all of your days I will be there
in summer breezes, winter's freeze
I'll be the wind through all your trees.
I'll be the raindrops on your face
each drop that falls a warm embrace
I'll be each sunset there will be
and every star will shine of me.
I'll be your time that comes and goes
your morning toast and cheerios
I'll be in all your candle flames
and I'll be there at football games.
I'll be the wind that blows your hair
both here and there and everywhere
if I must leave to be with you
then leave I must and leave I do.

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!”

Cheerios Honey Nuts will grace my bowl
Their scrumptious flavor I shall e'er extol
No bacon and eggs for moi
They are so humdrum and blah
Honey Nuts set my day on cruise control

cereal, great when you're in a hurry
and know ya gotta eat...
open up the cupboard
to chose your morning treat,
Capt. Crunch? nah, too much hard gristle,
Fruit Loops? nah, the colors make me dizzy
Grape Nut Flakes? yah gotta' be kiddin'
I'm sure to crack a tooth!!
Wheaties, far too boring,
if ya wanna' know the truth....
Ahhhh.....Cheerios!! just right!!!
like Goldilocks' warm porridge.....
I've found one just right!!!
No longer have to forage.....
into the bowl, in comes the milk
about to add sugar....
should go down smooth as new silk....
what's that?? I was quite amazed...
a tiny flying saucer rising,
a tad bit milk glazed!!
holy cow!! what's goin on????
I could not believe my eyes...
then it suddenly dawned on me....
he was looking for the toy surprise!!
