good morning

it is a circle
it is an O
it is the look of
O GOD O NO
O PLEASE O PLEASE
it is horror
it is terror
it is a scream
it is a silent scream
it is an onion flavored silent scream
it is unable to save you

O

is for onion
the bagel i like most
N is for not ever equating it
to toast – that would be insanity,
which is what the I is for, and if you try to
say it’s not, i’ll just come   bust down your door
and i’ll wear a mask,             and i’ll carry an axe
and a can of gas and              a bunch of matches
and you’ll be all like,          oh god, no! which in
case you didn’t get it       is what the second O
is for, but i won’t even hear your pleas,
cause i’ll be busy creaming cheese
once you get a taste of these,
you’ll Never make that
error again

The Greatest Bagel Ever Boiled

It wasn’t a perfect “O”
like you’re thinking
more like an italicized D
And it wasn’t all that fresh
mere hours from being stale
in fact
And the onion flakes stuck to its sides
were more than a little
gummy

But when the old man took a bite
he changed his mind
And didn’t kill his wife
after all
