"The King's Breakfast" is a poem by A. A. Milne, first published in When We Were Very Young (1924). It is about "a monarch who sulks when the cow refuses to provide milk."[1] Damon Young calls it a "witty portrait of moping".[1] The poem was made into a film in 1963.

The poem features an Alderney cow, a breed which became extinct in the 1940s.
