Cereal Amusement Park

By Ramesh C. Reddy

You are all part of PGSIS’s 20th year
Celebrate it with a cheer
To you all so dear
A  surprise is so near
PGSIS Class of 2003

Eat your favorite cereals for free

At cereal amusement park

We close at 6:00 p.m. before it gets dark

You are offered a variety of rides

Coming from all sides

For the sweet tooth

Take rides from the sugar booth

Without closed eyes

Eat some that are sweet as pies

For the sugarless taste

Take rides without haste

On the circular CHEERIOS

Round and round it goes

Whether it is sugarless or sweet

There is something for all teeth

The Leprechaun waits with his LUCKY CHARMS
Don’t worry because no one he harms

How about CINNAMON TOAST CRUNCH

Survey says it’s the #1 cereal to munch

CHEERIOS still rule with NUT & HONEY

It does not cost you any money

How about the ride with the bunny

Loves to play on the TRIX

But TRIX are for kids, silly rabbit

Trying to outsmart smart kids is his habit

Enjoy the chill ride known as FROSTED FLAKES

Don’t have to worry about frostbite aches

How about HONEY BUNCHES OF OATS

It’s a ride that floats

Have also the ride of LIFE

Never in danger of mechanical strife

If you hear the sound of POPS

No need to call the cops

It’s just the CORN making noise

About to be eaten by the girls and boys

Others enjoy the ride of FROSTED MINI-WHEATS

As they take their seats

Some like the ride on GOLDEN GRAHAMS

It never mechanically jams

If you like the ride of GRANOLA

Fiber wants to tell you it’s better than cola

Some of you will love the FRUIT ride with multiple LOOPS

The entire ride is circular like hoops

If you are not for the ride of KIX

Choose from other picks

There is this ride called SPECIAL K

It is nutritious in its own way

How about the ride of RAISIN BRAN

It is healthier for woman and man

Welcome to the smoking ride of COCOA PUFFS

Enjoy them without worrying about cuffs

There is also the ride known as KRISPIX

It continues to run as time ticks

You can also try the KRISPIES ride with RICE

For the person fearing heights of sugar, it is nice

The park also offers a KRISPIES ride with COCOA

For those of you who are also into mocha

You can also take part in the BANANA NUT CRUNCH

To ride it you don’t need a bunch

It is good to know the ride called BLUE BERRY MORNING

Does not come with any warning

CRISP rides offer a free COOKIE

For those of you who are a cereal rookie

If you are into the ride called HONEY MINI-FROSTED WHEAT

It operates without any heat

There is a ride called KASHI

It never gets washy

If you are into the ride called OATMEAL SQUARES

It does not have to be ridden in pairs

Neither does the ride called O’s

Don’t have to worry about malfunctioning foes

There is this boat ride called RICE CHEX

Where you don’t have to worry about malfunctioning decks

RICE KRISPIE ride can also come with TREATS

For everyone that eats

Park also offers CRISP rides called WAFFLE

Don’t worry it is not a ride that is awful

There is also a ride called WHEATIES

In the Lord’s eyes, we can all be sweeties

Hope you enjoy the rides you all decided to choose

They will always be healthier than booze

You will also be introduced to many cereals from the past

When the cereal rides started in 2000 really fast

This year with PGSIS maybe my very last

My decision upon the Lord I cast

As I think about missionary work that is vast

Or a new location of work this fall

For direction upon the Lord I call

Hope you will enjoy the cereals you eat

Loved serving every student & staff I got to meet

Through the years

Giving the Lord all my fears

From the premises, please do not remove any ride

I have assembled them all with pride

Feel free to take the zipper seal

And fill it with cereals for your snack or meal

To have while you work on your poster

Sometimes the work can feel like a roller coaster

In closing, may the Lord bless thee and keep thee!

His blessings may you all see!

You all in prayer, daily I will keep!

Knowing His love is so deep!

 

Love in Christ,
