In all the excitement of this weekend, I forgot that I have four Quaker Oats prize packs to give away! Then I promise I will stop talking about oats and groats and marsey-doats and doesey-dotes. Each prize is a 1 month supply of Quaker’s heart healthy breakfast products – including Old Fashioned Quaker Oats, Quaker Instant Oatmeal, Quaker Oatmeal To Go and Quaker Oatmeal Squares.
To enter, leave a haiku about oatmeal in the comments below by 11:59pm on Saturday, November 15th. A haiku is a three line poem in which the first and third lines contain 5 syllables and the second line contains 7 syllables. Four winners will be drawn randomly, not by the quality of their haikus. However, if it is not a true haiku, you will be disqualified. Count your syllables, people!
To inspire you, here’s a pic of Roni, Mo and me in the taxi on our way to the Quaker Oats headquarters, are faces beaming with thoughts of oatmeal. Let us be your muses!
Win or lose, you can also click this link to get a coupon for $1.00 off any two packages of Quaker Oatmeal. You must be using Internet Exploder for it to work though.

but oatmeal is nutricious
and so delicious
so she would get up
at four a.m. to prepare
the oats for her kids.
ungrateful brats–they
never said thank you, mommy!
instead, eyes bleary
they shovelled it down,
brushed their teeth, put on their clothes
and went to the fields
to begin working.
ah, the farming life! i am
so glad i got out.
but now that i’m grown
i would like to say THANK YOU

Oatmeal’s extra great,
Yummy-in-my-tummy treat.
It’s best warm and sweet.
