Muesli

Muesli

I know it’s good for you and me
But it should have stayed in Germany!
And the Swiss probably think its bliss;
Would much rather give it a miss!
It’s probably best value for money
But even with added runny honey
It tastes like milk-soaked cardboard;
Assorted pieces like mixed up hardboard!
An early morning breakfast call;
Would rather not get up at all!
With some flakes and added nuts.
(Apparently beneficial for our guts)
Am thinking is this really rabbit food,
To others, this would sound quite rude.
Pieces of fruit, some berries dried,
Great for the digestive system I cry!
But personally, this is not for me;
It tastes like wood-chips from a tree!
With all the seeds and chewy grains
At least with this, weight wouldn’t gain.
And plenty of other leathery stuff
One tiny teaspoon is quite enough!
But as this passes down my throat
At least today I’ve had my oats.
