Over laminate edging,
four extenders appear.
Then up comes the forehead,
home to retinal excitement.
Scanning the counter,
and drooling from mouth.
Osh-Kosh corduroys
stretching past the seams.
The container is spotted,
filled with pressed oats,
sugars and raisins,
essentially sweet toast.
An outreach is made
to capture the prize.
Although knowing location,
supervision prevents.
A sweeping of forearm,
a loud crash sounds off.
Crumbs tumbled to the floor.
Five second rule.
