Cornflakes, Pep, and Shredded Wheat-Do
they sound enticing?
I would trade them all for just
One small roll, with icing.
Krumbles, Wheaties, Grape-nut Flakes,
All-bran–all are flourishing:
I will swap them all for food
Even somewhat nourishing.
Breakfast foods are door-mats, or
Maybe something hairier;
I can get the same effect
Nibbling on a terrier.
MORAL:
Beware a food that must be shoved
And advertised, to make it loved!
