Don’t let biscuits be hard on you

Just give ‘em a little dunk

And they’ll soften right up

Bacon crumbles under pressure

Unless they’re Canadian

Then they become really taxing

Why does Benedict need a fucking muffin!

Who does he think he is?

Remember, you can always scramble

If you can’t get fried

Sunny side up appears to be happy

But is easily broken down

Into a runny, crying mess

Hardboiled stinks

Toast tries to be nice

With its whole grain

And empathetic sourdough

But usually arrives all dried out

Needing a bit of buttering up

Hash browns are grease monkeys

Don’t ever waffle

Over an important syrup

When the coffee arrives hungover

The juice always strains in

With a “I told you so”

Stuck in its pulp

Pancakes are whores…

Potatoes, strawberries

Blueberries, buckwheat

Buttermilk, Swedish

You name it

Pancakes will do it

  4. Nice take on breakfast. Pancakes…

    Dr. Jules Hilbert: Hell Harold, you could just eat nothing but pancakes if you wanted.

    Harold Crick: What is wrong with you? Hey, I don’t want to eat nothing but pancakes, I want to live! I mean, who in their right mind in a choice between pancakes and living chooses pancakes?

    Dr. Jules Hilbert: Harold, if you pause to think, you’d realize that that answer is inextricably contingent upon the type of life being led… and, of course, the quality of the pancakes. ”

  16. Spam spelled backwards is maps. Could that be significant?

    I love breakfast potatoes. I especially love the thick, country-style ones: so loyal to their roots; they refuse to be city-fried.

  27. As a war baby Spam was very much part of my early years’s diet. My favourie American breakfast is baking powder biscuits with sausage gravy, and grits.
