Breakfast of Champions

It started out with raisins,
healthy enough,
next came the box of Cheerios,
good stuff!
Berry Burst Cheerios, to be exact!
(I suppose I should find one of those cute
little trademark icons to put here, huh?)
Oh well...tough!
Anyway, it all began so healthily!
(Is that a real word?)
But suddenly, everything fell
apart! Just one little slip,
as though the health food fairy
took a little trip
down that aisle where cookies,
candy, and other goodies dwell!
For, to my surprise,
what did I find
staring up at me from the counter?
It was an almost-empty bag
of Doritos Nacho Chips,
(Pretend there’s a TM here, as well!)
mostly just crumbs,
but let’s face it,
images of bean dip
began dancing through my head!
My ‘breakfast of champions’
turned into a treasure hunt for snacks!
I was honor bound, and overfed,
to search for the foods
that Richard Simmons dreads!
(Does he get a trademark icon, too?)
Needless to say,
my happy, healthy day
did not go a very productive way...
But, hey,
there’s always
tomorrow!
Now where
did I put
those
doughnuts?
Ha! I bet you thought I was going to say
Krispy Kremes! No way!
(But here’s another TM, just for fun!)
