\u00c2\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n

Daddy fixed breakfast.<\/span><\/p>\n

He made us each a waffle.<\/span><\/p>\n

It looked like gravel pudding.<\/span><\/p>\n

It tasted something awful.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00e2\u20ac\u0153Ha, ha,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d he said, \u00e2\u20ac\u0153I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll try again.<\/span><\/p>\n

This time I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll get it right.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/span><\/p>\n

But what I got was in between<\/span><\/p>\n

Bituminous and anthracite.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00e2\u20ac\u0153A little too well done? Oh well,<\/span><\/p>\n

I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll have to start all over.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/span><\/p>\n

That time what landed on my plate<\/span><\/p>\n

Looked like a manhole cover.<\/span><\/p>\n

I tried to cut it with a fork<\/span><\/p>\n

The fork gave off a spark.<\/span><\/p>\n

I tried a knife and twisted it<\/span><\/p>\n

Into a question mark.<\/span><\/p>\n

I tried it with a hack-saw.<\/span><\/p>\n

I tried it with a torch.<\/span><\/p>\n

It didn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t even make a dent.<\/span><\/p>\n

It didn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t even scorch.<\/span><\/p>\n

The next time Dad gets breakfast<\/span><\/p>\n

When Mummy\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s sleeping late,<\/span><\/p>\n

I think I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll skip the waffles.<\/span><\/p>\n

I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122d sooner eat the plate!<\/span><\/p>\n
