Yo- Yo Mama: Poetry Monday

Poetry Monday's once a week.
I bet you know which day.
I don't participate every time,
But today I've come out to play.

My friends assign each week a theme,
Yo-Yo's what they chose?
Now it's up to all of us,
to put our thoughts into prose.
 
  
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Yo-yo Momma
 
Yo-yos were a childhood toy,
but dangerous, I won't lie.
Best be careful round them lest
you put out someone's eye.
 
It's all about a rhythm and,
coordination is the key.
Up and down and up and down,
it's fun, don't disagree!
 
From only just a dollar to
four hundred, even more,
there's contests, tournaments and those
intent on keeping score.  

But here's a fact 'bout yo-yos,
wait, let me make my case:
kids can make a yo-yo of,
hear me out . . . their mama's face.
 
One day they like breakfast,
the next day, they may cry,
when served the same thing as before,
I'll never understand why. 

No one like your child can make,
you smile when you'd had a frown.
But just as quickly, they'll yo yo,
your smile back upside down.

Ingredients:
1 cup flour
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1/3 cup chopped pecans
3 Cara Cara oranges, peeled, remove seeds, if any
up to 1/4 cup orange juice, if needed
2 TBSP brown sugar
1 egg
1/3 cup Nutella

4 TBSP butter, divided

Directions:

*Measure the orange puree, you need 1 1/4 cups. If you have more, remove some, if you have less, add orange juice until you have 1 1/4 cups.
*Whisk together the orange puree, egg, and Nutella, then add to the flour mixture and mix just until incorporated, don't over mix.
*In a small skillet over medium heat, melt 1/2 TBSP butter, scoop just 1/3 of the pancake batter into the pan and move around to form a 5 inch circle.
*Cook until the edges are brown, flip the pancake over, reduce heat just a notch, and cook the other side. Remove from the pan and keep warm while repeating with the remaining butter and batter. Makes 7 - 8 large pancakes.

  5. I could never get the hang of either hula hoops (I owned two as a kid) or yo-yos. I went through several. Kids can certainly yo yo your face, or roller coaster your emotions. Alana ramblinwitham.blogspot.com

  6. This is so true! Yes, they can wipe away a smile faster than just about anything else. They are little yo-yos.

  7. I would have to use a different spread because I don't like nutella. Crazy, I know.
