More Than the Bowl Can Hold

We are getting soggy.
You won’t like us when we’re soggy.
You pour us when we’re dry,
you add a little milk,
so you don’t have us at our absolute driest,
but you don’t want us completely drenched, trust me.

There’s a perfect moment to have your cornflakes,
and it’s here, man, so get on it, all right?
Eat up now, before you miss the moment, and –
look don’t just keep talking on the phone, get to the foodstuffs!
We’re part of a balanced breakfast, but that ain’t gonna happen
if you just yack away with whoever that is on the other end…
JUST GET OFF THE PHONE!

Jesus, don’t pick up the phone after you’ve poured the flakes.
What’re you, a moron?
We don’t have time, here, OK?
It’s running out.
Jeez, we’re real soggy now.
We’re getting to the point of no return…
Maybe if you add another layer of flakes on top of what’s we’ve got in the bowl,
you can refresh…
Oh jeez oh jeezohjeezohjeez…
I think we’re over now.
I think you might have to flush us, Gary.
Oh, mother.
I’m sorry…

Now you get off the phone?
