Summary: An original fictional miniature about a failed pancake flip, a quieter second try and a small meal shared with laughter. It turns learning through adjustment into a simple breakfast scene, not an account of a real personal event.

I marched in with a shining pan,
A spoon, a grin, a grand old plan.
The first one flew, then hit the floor;
My hungry pride slid to the door.

Turn it gently, let it land,
Not every sun obeys your hand.
A crooked moon can taste as sweet;
Pull up a chair and take a seat.

I wiped the pan and turned it low;
Some things need less to start to grow.
The next one rose, a softer sun;
I watched the bubbles, one by one.

Turn it gently, let it land,
Not every sun obeys your hand.
A crooked moon can taste as sweet;
Pull up a chair and take a seat.

Two plates, one laugh, a curl of steam;
A smaller feast, a better dream.
