Pancakes on an Open Grill

There was once a man named Jimmy
He thought food was such a thrill
So he opened up a tiny food stand
Serving pancakes on a open grill

Well the pancakes didn’t sell too well
Neither did the chocolate covered sardines
Nor the liver butter or gizzard spread
Or the milkshakes with Listerine

So Jimmy went from food to products
And started a solar flashlight chain
He also sold a biodegradable umbrella
That dissolved in the rain

The AAAAA battery wasn’t a seller
And the folding desk was a bomb
The discount CDs would have been good
If they had come with at least one song

So Jimmy gave up everything
After business became a pill
It has a lot to say about people
Who sell pancakes on an open grill
