WHATEVER THE DAY MAY BRING

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.
