I put my thumb up my bum and shut one eye, and my thumb blotted out the planet Earth.

In the craven wood by night a ganging surplus whip'd,
a machine to pulp the flesh of life from grains they held most dear.
An altar to furtive quinoa did they erect, and clutching sorghum too;
milling their worship finely in a cold and limpid stew.

"Kamut! Spelt!" intoned the priest, his voice a sonorous hollow in the dark. I quaked but did not move from my hidden spot. Now, though, the fullness of it was upon me: if I had wanted to I could not move, for I was under the spell of the ancient grains. The headdressed majordomo laid his sordid sacks upon the scales and began what I had seen written in old Meg's book...the ritual of the balanced breakfast. I watched, rapt, as my nausea subsided and along with it all human thought of fear - replaced, like the onrush of night, by a terrible and gnawing hunger.

"Grains!" thundered the old king, his beard encrusted with the cracked remains of Cheerios that had done hopeless battle with the vanguard of his mouth. "I must have grains! Burn the village by the river, Clarus, and devote the land to growing spelt!"

"But sire," quaked the broken servant, "three-fifths of the kingdom's arable lands are already devoted exclusively to spelt. This was once a gluten-free kingdom!"

"Do you seek to question the wisdom of his majesty, lord adjutant?" lulled the gigantic, sweater-wearing bee who stood at the King's left shoulder, his voice a crooning invitation but his lumpen, primary coloured face contorted in an inhuman sneer.

Screw all these old fashioned ancient grains! I'm on to newer, fresher, modern grains.

Have you heard about oats? They're gonna be huge!

"Ancient grains are a grouping of grains and pseudocereals that are considered to have been little changed by selective breeding over recent millennia, as opposed to more widespread cereals such as corn, rice and modern varieties of wheat, which are the product of thousands of years of selective breeding. Ancient grains are often marketed as being healthier than modern grains, though their health benefits have been disputed by some nutritionists.[1][2]

Ancient grains include the grains spelt, Khorasan wheat (Kamut), millet, barley, teff, OATS, freekeh, bulgur, sorghum, Farro, einkorn, and emmer; and the pseudocereals quinoa, amaranth, buckwheat, and chia."

you dang fool. you know nothing of ancient grains.

more specifically, she told the box she liked basil and the box contained a bunch of basil. then it contained cilantro, which she hated. then it contained tarragon which she was meh about. then back to basil, but this time thai basil. then oregano. then an advertisement for singles in her area.

You think breakfast is your ally? You merely adopted the grains. I was born in them, crunchatized by them.

"Eat it!" the man snapped, Edward sat in front of the bowl in which the grains had lied dormant for thousands of years, was this really what he wanted?

"Eat it, and you will gain its powers!" the man reiterated.

Edward poured the jug of milk slowly over the mixture of oats and spelt, there was no turning back now.

"Quickly, eat it before the old god escapes!"

The taste of over sweetened american breakfast cereal filled his mouth, suddenly he felt really old.
