In the cartoon world, this is how you make pancakes:
take one egg and beat it with a bit of water.
Add some milk and sugar,

Then wait for your mother to come home from work
because you’re too short to reach the stove.
It makes more sense than birth: your own, the world’s.

Yeah, I don’t know where that came from! It’s sort of inspired by the prompt for Wednesday, February 1, 2023:

Wednesday’s Either/Or
Either mundane or extraordinary
