Breakfast Surprise

Breakfast Surprise


I wonder if you
Can munch
On a bowl of
Captain Crunch
While dripping milk
Wearing pajamas
Made of silk
Strolling the aisles
Admiring the jewels
Inside a Tiffany
Silently wondering
Which diamond
Says me
And when I was asked
May I help you please
I inquired back
Does Tiffanys ever
Put a promotional
Surprise in
Boxes of Captain Crunch
                           
Just like Cracker Jacks
                                
As the sales person
Uppity and all
Walked away from me
I really wanted to
Give her a punch
So right then and there
Upon a sparkling counter
In a Tiffany’s I emptied
           
My box of cereal to see
If my Captain Crunch
Had a surprise for me
I knew that morning
It had more crunch
What a great breakfast
This turned out to be
