Food? Awwchh, More Oatmeal? -- NaPoWriMo Day 21
I Like Oatmeal Not
(Today I tried again to eat some oatmeal)
(gagging) "Aawwchh, Oatmeal again?
Yes, and one of these days
you're going to like me
Well, certainly I won't
certainly not today
I'm creamy, cinnamon
and sugar sprinkled with
a few raisons thrown in
Aawwchh, please don't make me think
hurts my head and belly
just the thought sickens me
My feelings are hurt bad
sniff, never in my life
'they' all treat me so nice
enough of you, be gone
(sink disposer gurgles)
I've had enough of that
nervy fool, can't fool me
(from deep down) Let me out
You win, never again

- And today I'm using to write our (optional) NaPoWriMo Day 20,
https://www.napowrimo.net/day-twenty-9/ , the prompt for yesterday ... "a challenge you to write a poem that anthropomorphizes a kind of food. It could be a favorite food of yours, or maybe one you feel conflicted about. I feel conflicted about Black Forest Cake, for example. It always looks so pretty in a bakery window, and I want to like the combination of cherries and chocolate . . . but I don’t. But how does the cake feel about it?"

Oh, no! I love oatmeal so much. :)
Is it the texture you don’t like? Maybe if you shift its form—make some muffins instead?
I'll take yours!
