Mikey Likes It, But Does The Viewer

The Workshop Collection

"The Final Fence: Sophomores In The Saddle" By Marc O'Brien

I know exactly how to make

A simple laughable out take

Perform a mistake

To see if the audience is awake

Somewhere

Over there

I made the blunder

Humorous wonder

One day

Someone will say

Look at that

What the child actor brat

Did

Wearing a bib

Mikey still liked it

Despite the fit

Where there was spit

Due to all the luring bull clip

Presented as a thirty second blip

During a show

Where the viewer doesn’t know

What is going on

Relaxing and calm

Now back to the ad

Funny not too bad

So are you going to buy

This all-important promotional cry

Or just sit there

In a stare

At the product

Knowing full well you got it

In the kitchen

Now stop your pitching

Finally trying the tease

Do what you please

With the looping fruit

Sold by a corporate suit

Pouring the milk first

Quenching thirst

Then add what they sold

Doing as the commercial told

Creating a breakfast bowl

Now what is a need

Strawberries indeed

Also, banana peeled

Sealing the deal

Such an elegant look

From the parental amateur cook

When done

Decided to have fun

Down at the fair

Delicacy wanted to share

Enjoyed by neighboring friends

Who all took time to commend

Blue ribbon cereal display

Not only okay

But gree rate

For those who can wait

Spending a special morning moment with your mate
