Waffles

About once every week

I wake up quite weak

Because I haven’t yet had my waffle.

Now, as I travel

With a suitcase to unravel

I really don’t have space for an iron.

So hopefully my hotel bakes

Or pancakes I must make

At least they’re super easy to do.

Crepes, ricotta, blueberry

With Nutella and strawberry

They’re a next best equivalent indeed.

By holding syrup at bay

Some even say

Waffles are more considerate pancakes

So it’s no wonder waffles are rare

Pearl crystals laid bare

To be cherished each time they’re found.

Always with chocolate glaze

Bruxelles or Liege

Those heavenly treats are worth having.
