Kellogg's Cornflake Massacre The story I'm about to tell you, The tale I'm bound to relate, Describes the evil of one terrifying, Psychotic Kellogg's cornflake. It awoke early one morning, Inside someone's breakfast bowl, Sentience coursed through the flake, This cereal had a soul. As the milk began pouring, The flake leapt for its life, It landed on the kitchen table, And took off with the butter knife. It's tortured soul was angry, "HOW DARE THEY TRY TO EAT ME!!!!" So it sharpened that butter knife to a point, And set off on a killing spree. The cornflake was merciless, In its crazed, insane rampage, Woman nor child, young nor old, No one was spared its rage. It massacred the army, The air force, the navy too, Even nukes couldn't get rid of the flake, There was nothing Mankind could do. Just as it began to look like, Humanity's lights were dimmed, Someone tried a crazy notion, And drowned the flake in semi-skimmed. The cornflake screamed as it melted, Under gallons and gallons of milk, Now these days we keep a supply of semi, In case there's ever another of its ilk! |

LOL. Oh what a tormented life you lead, first dancing pants, now psychotic cornflakes. I'll be in England myself next week, so I'll be carefull to keep an eye out for those dancing pants and I don't think I'll be eating cornflakes now!!! I love your strange way of looking at the ordinary. Please keep them coming. Tracey [This message has been edited by Tracey (edited 09-01-2001).] |

hehehe  hilarious! You know what's perfect about this though? That his demise was caused by skim milk...there's something about skim milk that just ruins the taste of cereal....and it turns a purplish colour when used with cereal. I don't know why, I don't need to know why....2% all the way for me! of course I don't mind a cold glass of skim milk now and then....but in cereal? Blech!Sorry...I've babbled I really enjoyed your poem! ~Krista  "Poetry and Hums aren't things which you get, they're things which get you. |
