blue tits

Shreddies for breakfast;
a guilty pleasure from Nestlé
the company who killed a thousand babies
to sell their powdered milk
in third-world countries.
I try to but the off-brands when I can;
the 'Mighty Malties' or 'Malted Squares'
but sometimes the supermarket just has
the fou-times-the-price brand leader
and I'm pouring milk
on the bones of African children.
