Pancakes

Pancakes

It’s come to be traditional
for pancakes on a Sunday
We wake up late
Anticipate
A tasty start to Funday

Mum gets up, bleary-eyed,
thinks that she can hack it
But shaky hands
Drop the pans
What a blooming racket!

Rolls up sleeves, makes a start,
now she’s wide awake
Flour and water
That’s what orta
Make a perfect cake

A toss or two, she’s flying now,
this girl is really able
The pile ascends
As we all wend
Our way towards the table

Some sugar, lemon sprinkled on,
no time to think of Diets
Maybe eight
On my plate
Just can’t wait to try it

Maple syrup  drizzled on
adds the perfect flavour
I’m on my way
To face the day
Bolder and more braver.

HEY, HEY…..,…PANCAKES !

Originally from Guernsey, but now living in Sussex, UK, I started writing poems and song lyrics when I was 16 or 17. I celebrated my 70th birthday last year, and am hoping that I've improved a little during the years between. Been published and also broadcast on local radio. Would love to be rich just so that I could visit Canada more often.
