I THOUGHT I’D TRY TOSSING A PANCAKE

 

I thought I would try tossing a pancake

Well that turned out to be a big mistake

The first three didn’t leave the pan at all

The next two were sliding down the wall

The only one dispatched with any grace

Then splashed hot fat right in my face

TOSSING THE PANCAKE

 

Tossing the pancake

How hard could it be?

Well quite difficult

Which surprised me

What an awful mess

After the first three

I gave up after four

That landed on me

TOSSING A PANCAKE

 

Tossing a pancake

I can do that

Just get a fry pan

Heat up the fat

Mix up the batter

As easy as that

One on the ceiling

One on the cat

One on the door

One on the mat

One on my head

Like a sweet sticky hat

THERE’S NOTHING LIKE A PANCAKE

 

There’s nothing like a pancake

With lemon curd spread on

And no greater disappointment

When it turns out to be Dijon

IT’S PANCAKE DAY AGAIN

 

Mix it, pour it

Cook it, toss it

And serve it

 

A little lemon

A little jam on

Eat it with aplomb

IT’S PANCAKE DAY

 

Light the hob

Mix the batter

Then pour it in the pan

Cook one side

And toss it high

Then catch it if you can

I LIKE TO TRY TOSSING THE PANCAKES

 

I like to try tossing the pancakes

But my inadequacy’s its revealing

And the results of my failed efforts

Look like I’ve Artexed the ceiling
