IN PRAISE OF PANCAKES



They may not be capable of developing
new drugs for rheumatoid arthritis
or given to existential dispute,
but their ability to bring joy to taste buds,
and, in fulsome quantity,
fill the tummy with fluffy calories
for breakfast, with bacon and maple syrup,
is second to none.

They are not staple enough
(like bread)
to have been part of the Last Supper
but when I consider
how my Last Breakfast might be spent
I favour it being among family and friends,
each comforted by the sheer delight
of a generous serve.
