The Nabisco Kids
©1993 Susan Noyes Anderson, Poetpourri
finding fear full-flavored
nutty, crunchy
they move nothing
rapt consumers
nerves of Shredded Wheat
with Cheerio mouths and eyes
Crispy Critters
slaves of cereal killers
stalking silver screens
fed up on silver spoons
and Lucky Charms
and Life®
