The Pancake Collector
by Jack Prelutsky
Come visit my pancake collection,
it's unique in the civilized world.
I have pancakes of every description,
pancakes flaky and fluffy and curled.
I have pancakes of various sizes,
pancakes regular, heavy and light,
underdone pancakes and overdone pancakes,
and pancakes done perfectly right.
I have pancakes locked up in the closets,
I have pancakes on hangers and hooks.
They're in bags and in boxes and bureaus,
And pressed in the pages of books.
There are pretty ones sewn to the cushions,
and tastefully pinned to the drapes.
The ceilings are coated with pancakes,
and the carpets are covered with crepes.
I have pancakes in most of my pockets,
and concealed in the linings of suits.
There are tiny ones stuffed in my mittens,
and larger ones packed in my boots.
I have extras of most of my pancakes,
I maintain them in rows on these shelves,
and if you say nice things about them,
you may take a few home for yourselves.
I see that you've got to be going,
Won't you let yourselves out by the door?
It is time that I pour out the batter
and bake up a few hundred more.
