It happened one morning... (or as the flap-jack flips)

I woke up this morning and got out the griddle,
Poured me a flap-jack, right there in the middle,
Of the griddle that is, where it started to bubble,
It was easy as (pan) cake, I was having no trouble.

Then the telephone rang, which I went to answer,
A nice lady said, good morning to you sir,
Could I interest you in an amazing device,
A wonderful nose clipper, at a reasonable price.

Now not that I don’t want you all to suppose,
That I do not have, some hair in my nose,
But some things are personal, private they are,
Like on my backside, the crescent shaped scar.

But now I digress, to my tale I return,
I hung up the phone and turned to a burn,
My flap-jack was smoking like the cauldrons of Hades,
(please forgive my simile) any sensitive ladies.

Smoke was a roiling, and then came the flames,
I must admit, I spewed forth some names,
Which I shan’t repeat, because I’m a gentleman,
Not giving no hints, but it was not son of a gun.

But still I digress, and the fire was growing,
I pursed my chickenlips and started a blowing,
That did not work, so I got out a glass,
Fill it with water, and threw it, alas,

I missed the flap-jack and watered the cat,
Who was watching the festivities, all sassy and fat,
The cat started meowing and running amok,
It was starting to seem, I was having bad luck,

Now Gladys (the cat) jumped on the counter,
Where she met the fire; she had an encounter,
Then she jumped in the sink, not sassy, but fat,
It looks like I now have a fat hairless cat.

Please do not call the ASPCA,
Because Gladys is fine, what can I say,
But maybe perhaps, that still I digress,
And it is time to return to my mess.

But all turned out right, once the firetruck came,
It only took minutes to put out the flame,
I must admit my flap-jack was smoky,
A little bit crispy, but still okey-dokey.

And besides a nice breakfast, remember the call,
The nice lady salesperson, who started it all,
She said that my purchase will come rain or shine,
My monogrammed nose-clippers, isn’t life fine?
