Corinne Curcio Poet Light Verse

Lousy Pancakes

Lousy Pancakes

Lousy Pancakes
Oughtn't be allowed
Especially when one
Has a limited income

They were meant to be a treat
For me to eat
But I wound up
Dissatisfied
Tongue - bleahed
And disgruntled

Pancakes are meant
To make one's mouth and tummy
Smile
But I am left
With a disagreeable expression
And a stomachache

If only my favorite cafe
Hadn't closed down
I would have not had to settle 
For third rate
Lousy 
Pancakes

Daver Austin April 5, 2009 at 6:00 AM I had a good chuckle on this one. I remember being on a symphony tour...we stopped in Eerie, P.A. I got up before everyone else, went to an oceanside joint and ordered eggs and hash browns. YUCK! they fried the eggs in ransid fish drippings or so they tasted. The guys at the counter looked tough, so I, cowared that I am, simply left the lousy joint. Love, daver
