It’s Grrrreat!!! (an ode to my obsession)
by Leslie Ann EisenbergI have one bowl of cereal
in the morning before the gym
one bowl of fortified frosted flakes
and IÂ’ll crank barbells like popeye
and sing a joyful hymn
I have two bowls of cereal
when I get home from work
two bowls of Rice Krispies
snapcracklepop into a stupored nap,
spoiling dinner with my afternoon quirk
I have three bowls of cereal
right before I go to bed,
three bowls of Lucky Charms,
three bowls to drown me sorrows,
but IÂ’d settle for a leprechaun instead! 06/23/2006 Author's Note: for lori…time for my bedtime snack…bye now, gotta go, buh-bye…GO ALREADY, JEEZ!!

| Posted by Karl Waldbauer on 08/01/06 at 03:51 AM Frosted flakes before going to the gym cracks me up! Pumping iron with a sugar high. This poem has so much energy and like all of your work, is self revealing as well. I can't stop grinning! |
