Morning Policy

By George K. George

 

 

Every morning I Open the cabinet

Options of boxes, but Only one that satisfies

The habit is one for the Original

Consider the assortment, but that's not how I operate

 

I sit down at Oval table with

Milk, sugar, and box of bleached wheat donuts

I dump, pour and spoon them into an Orange bowl

 

Before I begin I must Organize

Crescents and crumbs are Ostracized to the rim

As for floaters too buoyant

Pressed to the bottom by my spoon the O-presser

 

It ruins a bowl

When they're so unsaturated and crunchy

Undying Opposers are unavoidable facts

I locate them on the outside

And eat them when I'm through

 

I can't stand for the soggy mash of dregs

Overdosed on sugar Opiate

They go down the drain

 

Some folks ask me

Why not try granola or some flakes?

They just don't see

The Os' inborn equality is what makes my system great
