An Ode to Oatmeal

Oh Oatmeal, Oh Oatmeal
You've been gone so long.
Each trip to the store
would end with disappointment.
Your special spot on the shelf
was BARE, BARE, BARE.

Can you believe it, Oatmeal? 
Do you know what happened next?
As Miss Dilly Bean timidly approached
your little shelf, she looked in
utter disbelief!
Could it be?  Were you back? Was this real?
Miss Dilly Bean did a teeny-tiny happy dance
and then promptly scooped ALL of YOU,  OATMEAL
into the basket.

With no time to spare,
Miss Dilly Bean raced to the check-out
before someone could say,
"Hey, who took ALL of the best
oatmeal in the world?  Hurry! Stop her!
After all, she should share!"
(Miss Dilly Bean admits she did not want to share...)

Oh Oatmeal, Oh Oatmeal
Let's not be strangers again.
You make mornings such a tasty-delight
of happiness.
And here's a little secret, Oatmeal -
Mr. Dilly Bean only likes YOU, YOU, YOU!


Hope you all have your own little tasty-delight
of happiness that makes you want to do a
happy dance too!

Miss Dilly Bean
