Notes About The Poem

Written on Shrove Tuesday - 17th February 2026 - Pancake Day

The Pancake on the floor-Shrove Tuesday

My hubby tried to toss a pancake
sadly it landed down on the floor
I had to laugh, could not stop myself
it never happened ever before.

To me he's the best pancake maker
he made me another, a success
Pity it's only on pancake day
we enjoy the treat that I love best.

Well you’ve got me beat, Beryl, don’t think I’ve had a pancake in thirty years. And I’ve never ever tried tossing one. Glad you got your tasty treat in the ;-)

Strangely I never ate a pancake in my life. Not so popular in Malta. Loved your poem.
