Soggy and soaked, like coffee on buttered toast, that’s how I was left,
All alone, no one at home, but once in a Blue Moon and then no attention.
It all began when my parents ran, together; they were in Love.
Fool-hearty and playful, then things got heated, you know, utensil stuff.
Their lust that day ended up in the batter that would later become me,
The labor wasn’t long, just a few minutes at a time in the hot oil, you see.
I was paid attention to, lavished, buttered and covered with a fine Maple.
I was tasted and nibbled, but never devoured like I was cool.
Now I feel used, because I was; left alone on a plate on the kitchen counter.
Just some flash-in-the-pan, fanciful whim to a breakfast announcer.
There’s no wine, no candlelight for my concern,
I feel dirty, and yet…yet I yearn…
For God’s Sake, I’m just a Stack of Pancakes, just like you.
Someone eat me already.

ok - that cracked me up !
Hehe. This would make a good mini-series on TV. Um..or not. Okay, okay, maybe a really, short-lived mini-series. I think I could, at least, get a GEICO commercial out of it.
Well…I like pancakes! Cool write!
*Makes a mental note: ‘Write more about pancakes…BE the pancake!’
“BE the pancake!” Incorrigible! lol
…funny!
