The Breakfast Compromise: Pancakes or Waffles?

Oh darling, you love waffles crisp,

With golden grids so fine,

While pancakes make my heart do flips,

All fluffy and divine.

_ _ _

You crave the crunch, the syrup pools,

A masterpiece so neat,

But I prefer my buttered stacks,

All warm and soft and sweet.

_ _ _

At breakfast time, the battle starts,

The stakes are high, we know,

Will iron press or batter rise?

Decide—before we go!

_ _ _

Yet love’s not built on rigid dough,

Nor syrup’s golden streams,

But giving up the perfect bite,

For harmony and dreams.

_ _ _

So here I sit, fork in my hand,

My waffle dreams on pause,

Because, my love, you wanted cakes—

And love defies all laws.

_ _ _

But mark my words, my sweet, my dear,

I’ll yield without a fight,

Yet next time, love, the waffle’s mine—

You will have one bite!
