Handy Plastic Snacks
four cups of blue triangles
look for the name brand symbol
imitation ones will do
sauté the things with sardines
bake at three hundred degrees for an hour
or until golden around the edges
fun to eat and build with too
shove them past your nostrils
just to slide back up again
chew them well so they get soft, then swallow
don't forget to share
2
when you don't feel domestic
prepackaged is the fad
processed triangle food
now they are hatched in molds at your local supplier
twice told not to get them in your hair
they stick like crazy
tasty nasty topping for your little pseudo sundae
save upc symbols for a surprise
use snacks to make music and purchases
eat more
thanks for your patronage

natural is pretty good, if you are into that stuff
it's an aquired taste
very politically correct
saving you from boredom and starvation instantly
catching them is the trick
triangles only mother nature can love
little bastards pop up like weeds
breeding in pristine climate
transleucent in vibrant colors
acidic dew forms on them at dawn
Georgia O'Keefe couldn't capture their disturbing beauty
4
the holes in your belly keep you up at night
everyone can see that you have a repulsive habit
a strange addiction
side effects block judgement
the incredible inedible triangle
don't crack a tooth
now you are plastic bones and rubber muscles
you are a yellow one
causing cancers and canker sores
melting you down again
to make a healthy after-school snack for your grandson
