The Cheeto Who Would Be King!A Poem by Michael StevensThe unbelievable true story of a one-time snack!![]() There
once was a Cheeto who wanted to be a dude, instead of empty calories, who was just a snack food.
And so, Little Pho-Chedder, who refused to study hard at all, left safety and his friends and paid a doctor's office a call.
With a crowbar, and a mask over what passed for his face, in the wee hours, he emptied every bit of grow- juice, and fled the place.
He holed up in a dumpy hotel, and injected the human growth steroids, and while he waited to grow, he studied Polaroid after Polaroid,
of what he thought were everyday people, but were in fact, mug-shots. And so, he developed a natural sneer, and knew he'd have to buy hair, lot's
and lots. But that was a problem, the color he needed didn't occur in nature, so at first, he didn't look too good, resembling a smiling Hannibal Lecter.
But he worked and worked, still refused to study, and he grew and grew, until he'd pass muster with everyone, and by the time he was through,
he began to have delusions of grandeur, and developed quite a chip on his shoulder. He grew arrogant, his once-modest plans grew bolder and bolder,
until by the time he checked out, he knew exactly what he wanted, to be President of the United States, and so he kept on undaunted.
When he paid a surprise visit to his former home bag, his fellow Cheetos laughed and ragged, and continued to rag,
saying,'What? Not a good or smart idea, there, Sherlock!' So Pho-Cheeto boy became enraged and crushed them with a rock.
He was so much better than they'd ever hope to be, he's show them, well, their powder anyway--he
filed papers, entered the race, and wouldn't change for anyone, and his every utterance, he figured would end his presidential run,
but much to his amazement, some voters didn't seem to care. His macho posturing and arrogant blustering only seemed to deepen their
infatuation with him, he could do no wrong, and he started to rightly believe he didn't have to behave in a normal way, that the voters wouldn't perceive
he was just a hapless little snack food, fresh from the bag, who didn't have a clue about anything, but he learned quick he could cover anything with bluster, and do
and say anything, and nothing would stick to him--he was made of Teflon. And suddenly, the little Cheeto from the wrong side of the bag, found his con
had propelled him to the highest, most powerful office in the land, He controlled the fate of millions in his oversize hands.
What was once a distant dream of a glory hound cheese puff became a frightening, yet satisfying, reality, sure enough!
