wild eyed pancake

wild eyed pancakes
invented by grandma
two kernels of corn for eyes
delighting her grandchildren
sometimes a mistake makes the best memory

Pancake Meditations

"Will I grow to be much fatter?"
I wondered as I stirred the batter,
"and, if I do, what would it matter?",
as the pancakes, they grew flatter.

Pancake

The circle widens slower and comes to a stop. 
Bubbles form on the surface - and then go pop.
If it looks like it's shiny and it's still wet, 
it probably isn't quite ready yet.  
I think watching it is really a trip -
watching and waiting for the right time to flip.

The Ballad of the Pancake Brothers

two brothers hailed from the old country
from Donnybrook 
one more like an engineer
the other like a cook
they specialized in pancakes
the best, you can't deny 
Sean made them taste like heaven
Finn stacked them high

supplies came from all around
in wagons and in trucks
Sean whipped up the batter
and ol' Finn he constructs
with eggs from every chicken
and milk from every cow
maple syrup miracles
from the oats that they did grow 

when these flapjack masters
grew old and had to die
they made a stack of hotcakes
and they climbed it to the sky
kids, each time you eat griddle cakes
you should be like me
stack 'em high
and think of Sean and Finn McGee

Legendary Pancake Brothers

Two brothers hailed from the old country, from Donnybrook -
one more like an engineer, the other like a cook. 
They specialized in pancakes - the best, you can't deny.  
Sean made them taste like heaven, and Finn stacked them high.

Supplies came from all around, in wagons and in trucks.
Sean whipped up the batter, and ol' Finn he constructs,
with eggs from every chicken and milk from every cow,
maple syrup miracles from the oats that they did grow. 

When these flapjack masters grew old and had to die,
they made a stack of hotcakes and they climbed it to the sky.
Kids, each time you eat griddle cakes, you should be like me,
stack 'em high and think of Sean and Finn McGee.

A Pancake is a Pancake

You can call them flapjacks.
and you can call them hotcakes,
You might call them johnny cakes or griddle cakes or crepes.
I don't see the difference that it makes. 
They come by many a name, 
but a pancake is a pancake
just the same.

THE PANCAKE SAID

The pancake said
To the egg
I’m prettier than you
I have a gorgeous
Brown color and I’m
Also filling and can be any size
I also have two best friends
Butter and syrup

My New Old Mourning Routine

There are tears mixed 
into the pancake batter
sun is still obfuscated 
by the window shades
without sunshine, I still 
wind up a morning person
Tobacco clings to me, 
where your scent would be
sewn with many memories 
into the mesh of myself
a premature family crest, 
stained and worn

The new day shows 
only one outcome remains
the eggs are runny, 
my nose sniffles into an arid oasis
no sunny side seems 
to show up these days
I wake up to an empty pillow, 
your space hollow through
but I still cannot but help myself 
from making breakfast for two.

My Pancake Concoction

I sprinkle corn in my pancake batter.
Not enough to make the pancake lumpy
but enough corn, that I taste it.
Topping off my pancake with peanut butter
and butter and maple syrup
and maybe a touch of whipped cream
just in case I need another bit of sweet

Pleasure Palace Princesses Pancake Peacock and Powerhouse Pig

Pretty pancake peacock pointedly persuaded powerhouse pig
To publicly plan porcupine’s playful pink planetary probability placement.
Pleasure palace princesses provided puny particulars providing big
Porky plebes who placated porcupines, poking peacock’s replacement.

A Pancake Moon

I tossed my pancake
Right into the sky
I looked up and saw
It stuck to the night
A perfect round
Done just right
Glowing with syrup
As it perked me up!
It tempted me alright
Have you ever tried
Tossing your pancake
Into the open sky
It inched closer to me
As it grew very fat
I held out my plate
And it dropped 
Just like that!

I Want To Be Your Pancake

You look so yummy
I want to see how you taste
Be my mu shu pork.
I'll wrap myself around you.
I want to be your pancake.

Pancake Batter Bessie

Pancake Batter Bessie
She makes flapjacks so fine
Avoiding corn syrup 
With Tabasco, liver and onions sublime.

We try to stop her 
But she is obtrusive and a ghost
Where we make our own batter 
We hide it with our toast.

For Bessie will take that batter 
And add extra stuff galore.
Peanut butter and sausage
Corn, pickles, oranges and more.

Bessie empties our pantries in the middle of the night
And grills up inventive pancakes that fill every counter in sight.
Our mother has asked her to stay out of her kitchen.
Pancake Batter Bessy’s creative juices can’t for they are always itch’n.

A Pancake

people tell me
can't you see
we're not
Shakespeare

our lives are not
being played
in the round
but flat

all the world
is a stage
all the people
are players

then i watch
my neighbor's cat
thinking if the world
we're truly flat

everything
would have
been pawed
off the edge
