Thick ones or thin ones?

Quick, make a choice,
click the kettle on.
Need. Some. Tea.
Flour, eggs, milk, sugar.
Bugger the lumps
she won’t mind.
Pan out, hob on.
(Why did I start doing this again?)

Sizzle, flip, sizzle, out.
Ok.
Sizzle , flip, sizzle, out.
Burnt one.
Hide it under the others
she won’t mind.
Thanks mum, these are great.
(I should bloody hope so!)

Slurp, bite, slurp, swallow.
Yum.
Slurp, bite, slurp, burp.
Dropped one.
Next week, mum
Can you make one in the shape of Yoda?
(We both know that’s unlikely-)

Or Darth Vader?
Click the kettle back on.
Need. Some. More. Tea.

Thanks Bear :) I was actually asked for a Yoda shaped pancake and it was too good a moment not to use.

this is sooooo cute. Not a burp in sight... hint!

Oooh, a burp, now there's thought...it would sit quite nicely after 'dropped one' or instead of the second 'swallow' because I changed that word several times and it still niggles.

Very enjoyable, I particularly love the last line - 'Need. Some. More. Tea.'

I've burped just for you coolibah, I'm humbled by your cherries! Thanks The Walrus, I find tea solves most problems.
