Thanks to "Torchlakecosier" who writes, "Actually this is more of a
no-food not-funny."

O we have a home
Where the white-tail deer roam
And the porcupines do as they please.
Where the wretched raccoon
By the light of the moon
Eats the peppers, tomatoes and peas.

The lettuce is gone,
But the rabbits stay on,
For they live in this Eden sublime.
Where 'til the snow flies
They are up to their eyes
In parsley, in sage and in thyme.

The birds come to feast -
We don't mind in the least -
We'd cheerfully buy what they need.
But the squirrels so cute
And so agile to boot
Won't leave us a spoonful of seed.

Home, home by the range,
Where there's nought from the garden to boil.
The harvest's all gone
But the wildlife lives on,
And we've nothing to show for our toil.

            TODAY'S RECIPE
__________________________________________________

The bright flavor of lemons is a real eye-opener in the morning.
Try these light, fluffy pancakes topped with fresh raspberries or
strawberries.

Lemon Pancakes

3 eggs, separated
1/4 cup (60 ml) all-purpose flour
3/4 cup (180 ml) cottage cheese or yogurt
4 Tbs (60 ml) butter, melted
3 Tbs (45 ml) sugar
A pinch of salt
The grated zest of 1 lemon

Beat the egg whites until stiff and set aside. In a separate bowl,
beat the egg yolks and remaining ingredients until thoroughly
combined. Gently fold the egg whites into the flour mixture until it
is uniform in color. Spoon about 3 tablespoons (45 ml) onto a lightly
greased griddle over moderate heat and cook for about 1 1/2 minute.
Turn and cook about 30 seconds. Serves 3 to 4.
