Studio8 - Uniting the Arts

what's wrong with pasta
in the morning, have I
violated some sacred tablet
General Mills is all military
would like me to believe
Cereal Rules
Kellogs has always been there
to challenge Count Chocula
I mean c'mon they're from Battle Creek
for god's sake
the cereal wars take an entire aisle
it always gives me a cringe
I picture a child begging somewhere
in the Balkans for a slice of bread
me and my polished steel grocery cart
and the one hundred options for the affluent
a hundred is way better than 3 or 4
Right ?....Isn't that the measure of freedom
the reminder of our greatness, from sea
to shining.....See, all the boxes, man
this could never happen anywhere else
on the planet, I'm mesmerized, this
confused looking customer in front of me
is standing at the altar, mouthing
silent prayers that his choice will be righteous

We give thee thanks,
General Mills
Post
Kellogs
without thy bounty
where would we get
our daily minimum requirement
of sugar
transfat
simple carb
and butylated hydroxytoluene?

(I'd wager your pasta and my cold remnants of last night's dirty rice are a whole lot healthier than Trix or Lucky Charms!)

come come!
enter the air-conditioned lab
of color-coded
logo enhanced
algorithmic creations
come, choose!
which pummels the amygdala
at the exact spot
for the fastest pick?
come, join!
now is the time
here is the chance
come, come!

Cold pizza and last night's stale beer
Is this really how I'm still
Starting
My
Day?
They're greeeaaat!!
