Tom's facemask sports a charming smile
For Cheerios - that's British style
But Putin's staff
Can't help but laugh
Tom's munching Marmite all the while!...

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....

God gave Louis a rather long nose
Which nose he used to zoop up Cheerios
    Better than a straw
    Though there was a law
His big mouth he had to keep tightly closed...

Kellogg, he was groomed as a killer.
The milk on the spoon - would not spill ‘er.
With cheerios breath,
a masticate-death,
he zeroed his victims - a thriller.

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 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...

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...

Just stepped on a mini wheat, now I'm known as a cereal killer
Ate some fruit loops, now I'm a star in a fruity loopy thriller
Devoured some cheerios
Now have a happy ego
Coco Puffs make me loco, puff up and stick up my bad finger!...

A cup of Joe
  Some cheerios
A nose to blow
  Off to war we go

They lay in bed
  They act half-dead
In mortal dread
  Of schools' brick-red

They wish they were us
  We wish we were them
Every generation condemned
  ~ Plant severed from the stem...

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!”

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....

Canada's Olympic team,
pro weightlifters 
and skiers,
sat down to a celebration gala,
grand festivities at the 
ACC,
a feast of Cheerios and
a glass of water,
passed 
with
handshakes,
candles and cupcakes,
everyone wishing
to be back to that moment,
when they beat the odds....

There is a rodeo and
there are cheerios,
my dog is a corgi-o.

He is always wanting
something and I say,
o what do you
want now, so I let him out.

He will be outside
and he barks to come
back in, I say o Murphy
make up your mind.

He will paw me
once again I say
listen here you
little o corgi
stop being o so pushy.

Wet Crows huddled in a tree
Golf carts in the rain


The wind holds its breath
sad bagpipes whine


a wolf-like predator
a trail of Cheerios


Owl’s feathers
silence amid the noise


no place to go
six cats on a marble floor


playing at the dinner table
French fry vamps


Movie matinee
A popcorn fantasy

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

Cheerios lacks sugar
Alphabet cereal needs marshmallows
A wise one invents Lucky Charms
I eat all the colorful marshmallows out of it too

Wheaties and Raisin Bran are awful.
Daddy eats them
I have no idea how
Is there a sugar swamp in the bottom of his bowl?

In the winter we have Cream of Wheat
Malt-o-Meal
Coco Puffs
Nothing is special about Special K...

This hippie van is headed south
To Arizona’s crimson mouth.
We were singing all the weirdo songs.
Righting the rights, ignoring wrongs.

Pulling people in along the way
We pulled a cereal killer in to play
He ate all of the cheerios we ever had
When he left we were all glad

Don’t keep inviting strangers in said maw
We had picked her up in Omaha
The songs continued, we sang the day away
Picking more strangers up along the way....

Mrs. Fallicker 
    a Gurnsey dairy cow 
chewing her gum cud, 
    laughing 
moo laughs 
    about Bobbi 
the first child in our class 
    to eat paste. 

I walk amongst them 
    with my eager thoughts 
tracing J's in dust jackets 
     with my pinky finger 
eating letters, 
     A's like dry cheerios. 

The gloss 
     of library book pages 
thick with the musky smell of 
     forest floor 
               moss. 

This school is foreign....

When God created a woman
He created his most
Prized possession
It’s been noted that 
Behind every successful man
Is a woman
The greatest thing a
Woman can do is
Bring another life
Into the world
Which is why she
Deserves respect
She doesn’t need to be
Abused, mistreated or
Disrespected
She needs to be loved
And cheerios
A woman is not weak
Her weakness is only 
For the one she truly loves
That’s why she puts up
A person that’s not good
For her...

I should be a private eye,
and not one with a sty...
Cause I put 2 and 3 together,
Oh, I was being so very clever!

My Sherlock mind, it did deduce,
From clues she left,some too loose...
Just what her choice would be....
At least I could clearly see...

Not donuts and hot tea...
Bacon and eggs?  Naw...to easy....
Oatmeal?... Naw, but maybe a bit more close...
I know what your thinkin', "Oh, again,here he goes!!"
She said it every time...
Her choice always Cheerios!!!!...
