Praise the Lord and curse the Devils <br />For the toys in Frooty pebbles <br />Apple Jacks, Scooby snacks <br />Living room got booby traps <br />I've just experienced another one of my <br />fast forward flashbacks ... <br />Me sitting in breakfast banquets <br />two and a half decades younger <br />Sitting on orange fur <br />facing TV and its contents <br />BUGS BUNNY taught me English, <br />TOM taught me that with JERRY <br />its best to remain friends. <br />JERRY taught me that its best to remain friends <br />with Bulldogs and their pups. <br />Scooby taught me crime pays <br />for its crimes. <br />And sometimes, you may make it all the way to one p.m. <br />And still watch cartoons before the 'cop show' reruns begin. <br />'After these messages... we'll be right back' <br /> Used to be my favorite song, til commercials ended <br />And cartoon shows must go on. <br />TV played a repeated service; <br />With Lawrence Fishburn <br />As 'Cowboy Curtis'. <br />Beakman taught science on Saturday noons <br />Ice cream so cold that it bended the spoons <br />boxes of juicy <br />All imitation <br />Shredder and splinter in <br />Confrontation. <br />A kid's day <br />is Saturday <br />Loveliest day <br />Smiles towards those days of youth <br />Where luncheons came with RITZ and fruit <br />and Shasta sharing, no one staring <br />Walk-mans, tapes, and double daring. <br />Leaving my flashback from back in the day... <br />Back to the Present, <br />No more 'Two-Scoops' or <br />Imitation Froot Loops, for me; <br />I've... become... a parent <br />Dooooooh! <br />I return learned and asking: <br />What ever happened to Saturday morning cartoons? <br />P.X<br /><br />Charles Monroe<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/imitation-froot-loops/
