Crepes.
So soft, so warm,
So beautifully yellow.
Filled so full with something sharp or mellow.
Whipped cream or chocolate, vegetables or fruit.
Sweet or savory, a strawberry or a bamboo shoot.
Lemon with sugar, or spinach with cheese.
Ham and syrup, or whatever you please.
Dreamt of the cute waitress who served us last night
Frequent patrons of this eatery, crepes are dynamite
But the bonus is her hugs
Entering and leaving that I love
Especially when she offers her yummy dessert delight
Dreamt of the yummy waitress who served us last night
Frequent patrons of this eatery whose crepes are dynamite
But the bonus is her hugs
Entering and leaving that I love
Especially when she offers her yummy dessert delight
Crepe Suzette with fresh mushrooms
Sautéed on the side
Brings smiling eyes to the meal
Cooked just right they have
Superb appeal to
Hungry tongues
Yum!
Dreamt of the yummy young thing that served us last night
Frequent patrons of this eatery whose crepes are dynamite
But the bonus is her hugs
Entering and leaving that I love
Especially when she offers her yummy dessert delight
A crêpe for breakfast has me by the short curlies
They're yummy yum yum, make my tummy do twirlies
Not good for the waistline
No more food till p.m. nine
Tell myself you can do it, please Lord have mercy
