Pancake haiku

August 19th, 2007 by Atomictumor

I want a pancake
Except I live in Oak Ridge
No good ones for sale

Don’t feel like cooking
The kitchen is still so clean
Hate to ruin it

Where is the IHOP?
Where is the Cracker Barrel?
No pancakes for me.

But wait! Theres a place!
She said “Jefferson Drug Store”
“Has damn good pancakes”

Sounds like a plan, man
Except this is still Oak Ridge
So they’re closed Sunday.

Its been a good week
I don’t know what I’m doing
But I’m used to that

    Waffle House, but that place is kinda gross… Shoneys!! All you can eat breakfast bar! Yum!

  2. Atomictumor Says:

    Shoneys is nasty
    Waffle House ain’t got pancakes
    That wasn’t haiku.

    Just biding time here
    Awaiting a new baby
    Stubborn already

    Week has been longish
    Tiring and full of drama
    Need super powers

    Have been missing you
    More than I thought I would here
    You’re writings distract

    Wish I didn’t sound
    So needy and a loner
    But I am, that’s me

    Don’t like pancakes much
    So will search for eggs bacon
    Cupboards quite bare, grrr

    I have gone on long
    Sometimes miss the chat box
    To say HI! to Jane

    Problem at new job
    two years ago had dated
    a guy who works there

    Now I work there too
    He’s engaged but not happy
    wants to break with her

    People think it’s me
    coming between him and her
    gossip is hurtful

    Just ate breakfast
    Bacon and eggs
    Might come back up

    Nerves a wreck
    Start back college
    Nursing school again

    Garage needs cleaning
    Send husband out to work
    I’ll stay inside
    It’s hot in TN

    Breakfast for dinner
    makes the kids think we are broke.
    Omelettes, juice and grits.

    Breakfast for dinner
    should be enjoyed more often.
    Pancakes always good.

    AT is nice guy
    I awarded him for that
    Deserves it he does

    Go to my site and
    See what I said ’bout him
    Big guy with big heart

    Went to a sock hop
    bobby socks and polka dots
    all dressed up to dance.

    Girl friends all around
    take in the dancing frenzy
    of old time music.

    mem’ries of high school
    dancing after football games
    feel me full of joy.

    bobby socks remind me
    days at parochial school
    plaid skirts and white shirts.

    that seems long ago
    a different person then
    my how times have changed.

    Vixen makes me blush
    She thinks ATs a nice guy?
    What a crazy world…

    Breakfast for dinner
    What we had for my birthday
    Is the very best

    Hi to you Vixen!
    Waiting for the start of school
    A little nervous

    Not sure I’m starting
    From a good place in my head
    It all comes down to faith

    Can there be enough?
    Sending prayers to new babies
    living proofs of faith
