Ode to a sexy pancake

Cinnamon-faced you swim

In organic butter. Your batter

stiffened with a little milk, finally

leads to a creamy consistency.

O you yellow beauty 

with glistening edges!

You quiver and shimmy along

twisting and turning until

you get really hot

and bubble with restrained passion.

Left undisturbed

you soon boast a golden tan;

then flipped, sometimes twice,

you lie face up, uninhibited,

relaxed and happy to be devoured

with a dollop of cream

and raspberry jam

in all the right places.
