Confessions of a Cereal Killer

I started off small
Trix are for kids
I killed my first box
sitting in front of Saturday
Morning TV

In my teen years
I knocked off the usual
Cheerios and Wheaties
fuck cornflakes,
they don't put up a fight

bran is soggy but expeditious
in my adolescence I discovered
Cream of Wheat and Jergen's Lotion
while I looked at Mary Lou Retton
on the Wheaties box

Then I discovered Special K
and Total
my testosterone levels went up
and I began burying empty boxes
like a bulimic maniac

In my twenties, I moved to the kinky brands
you know, Count Chocula
Captain Crunch
and the ones with
little dried fruits
I was the terror of the grocery store

I'll be on the Wheaties box one day
Champion Cereal Killer
now I have boxes of it in my basement
and dismembered shredded wheat
in my freezer

Funny.... witty... clever poem

Except this part

Ewwww.... i mean.... ewwww

lol

geez :roll:
in my adolescence I discovered
Cream of Wheat and Jergen's Lotion
while I looked at Mary Lou Retton
on the Wheaties box
Seriously, I suggest losing that stanza entirely or at least losing the Jergen's lotion. It's the mixing it together with Cream of Wheat that makes it even more gross.

Come to think of it, it would be just as gross with only the Cream of Wheat.

doreen, I'm not even going to mention Noxema

dino, I spent last weekend watching the girl's gymNASTYics trials. I never really was too fond of MaryLou either. I thought her smile was phoney. I had a hopeless crush on Ekatarina Zsabe (1984 Olymics) though.

westie,

I couldn't sell my spoon on eBay because it was too burnt on the bottom

so I guess I'm stuck with it

that's why my brain is like a rice crispie

snap, crackle, pop
