King Vitamin

A Poem

It was the worst cereal

with crowned king on the front of

the box. An old man with a

spoon full of the stuff that would

scrap the insides of your mouth

raw. There was another called

Kaboom, that had marshmallows

and was circus themed but it

tasted like stale Lucky Charms.

Both were approved for the WIC

voucher, but the king with all

his spite went into the cart,

waiting to call chaos to

the chewing of Saturday

cartoons. May he abdicate.
