The Humble Pancake
Round or irregular, thick or thin
the apparent plain Jane of cakes.
Mix flour and milk, add eggs
whisk. Stand.
Heat butter in a pan.
A ladle of mixture sizzles
hear the hiss, smell the intoxication
an addiction in creation.
Saliva runs with imagination
flip the cake cook the other side.
Serve, placed on a hot plate
sprinkle with your poison
chocolate cream, honey, syrup
for me simple is exotic
lemon sugar so erotic.
Savour one small forkful at a time
enjoy remember no other food
is this sublime.
