This was an assignment requiring the words...window shopping, diamond, Moon River, Truman Capote, Audrey Hepburn,
Up in the morning
no clue what the day will bring
tho
Like a diamond ring
on a Christian woman
my first meal is faithful
Truman Capote would have a challenge
creating a script
and Audrey Hepburn would
surely not star
in the theme of my morning
nourishment
Moon River would not be the tune
playing while I consume
my habitual fare
My song would be more like a jingle
perhaps “The Wheels on the Bus”
It’s a childish grub I ingest ….
Even the commercial claims
it is just for kids
Can you guess what it is?
Yes
Trix cereal in a bowl
no milk for moisture
straight out of the box
No window-shopping needed
for my choice
Straight off the shelf
is how it works
so
You may think this silly
but
My simple breakfast
uses little thought
to create
which allows plenty of space
in my brain
to take on whatever the day
may bring my way.
