Notice Your Pancake

As he soundly sleeps,
at the bottom of the heap,
take notice of the flapjack
on the downside of your stack,
and the syrup that might seep, 
so profound, so deep.

Thanks, I made pancakes before I wrote that poem with real maple syrup! I still have more maple syrup, so more pancakes are comin' up!

Somehow the syrup hasn't yet seeped down deep into my shallow brain.

I have the same problem, but I just keep eating pancakes and syrup. I figure someday something might seep in.
