Mystery Meal
1. It’s crunchy or sweet
Made of corn, oats, or wheat.
It might crackle and pop
Or be sugared on top.

2. A smooth, cold delight,
Fresh, creamy, and white.
Drink it all up
From a glass or a cup.

3. An iron’s what it takes
To make these pancakes.
Poured in a mold,
Served hot, never cold.

4. It’s white and oblong.
With a shell that’s quite strong.
The best part’s inside –
Delicious when fried.

5. When raw, it lies flat
And marbled with fat.
When cooked, it gets wavy.
Very tasty with gravy.

Its tang wakes you up
Drink down in a gulp
Then munch on the pulp.

For kids young and old,
