Made of corn, oats, or wheat.
It might crackle and pop
Or be sugared on top.

Fresh, creamy, and white.
Drink it all up
From a glass or a cup.

To make these pancakes.

With a shell that’s quite strong.

And marbled with fat.

Its tang wakes you up
Drink down in a gulp

For kids young and old,

To start every day.
