Alternatives to Oatmeal

I dreamt last night that I was thrown

Into an oatmeal bowl

I wish it had been quicksand

Or a rail car filled with coal

I wish I had been swallowed

By some huge, gigantic bird

Or carried off in a stampede

By some wild bison herd

I’d rather I’d been spread on toast

Or baked with flour and yeast

Than be covered all in oatmeal

The breakfast food I like the least
