Daddy, may I please have more

coin sized pancakes and can I pour

That homemade maple syrup

the neighbor made, letting us help

And if you’re frying any more

could you make some potatoes and corn

Into those fritters we adore

until I can’t eat anymore

Because no one makes them like you do

it’s now become my favorite food

They’re made with love, by daddy's hands

answering his baby girls commands

And if by chance, there’s something left

I’ll dab the remnants up myself

I’ll help put the dishes on the shelf

saving memories of how happy smelled
