Welcome to Grasping at Straws, the weekly blog where the unheralded, the underappreciated, and the long forgotten get their time to shine! Each week, I will “make the case” for an unpopular opinion regarding any topic or category of culture and life. Suggestions for future topics will be taken and considered at any of Sour Power’s social media channels, but please, keep it classy.

Pancakes we love, pancakes we trust
But what about pancakes as buns?
Smaller and round, founded with love
What if we sandwich’d it up?
“But pancakes are warm, with syrup adorned
You’ll have to hold it with a glove.”
Except it’s like syrup was already poured
So holding it’s never a chore.
The pancakes are great, they’re surely the bait
But you got some choices to make.
Sausage or bacon whichever you please
Unless you go no egg or cheese.
You’ve heard of golden arches, well this is golden dairy
The egg and the cheese are so complimentary.
Choosing plain sausage is so honestly scary
I can’t ever trust you if you get it regu-lair-y.
When you get it with a hash brown, wow what a pair.
Here, take my cash now, I don’t even care.
The taste is so pure, the taste is so true
I’m not ashamed to say that when I go I get two.
Even how it’s wrapped, so precise, a delight.
In between the buns, so packed, always right.
I can even taste it as I type these words.
After I eat two I often dream about a third.
In the past it was only on the menu in the morning
If you showed up late, you would surely be in mourning.
As a kid, grandparents could be downright boring
Until their early habits had them oh so adoring.
It’s already 10:20, “Grandpa, hurry up!
The line is so long, this is such bad luck!”
But when we finally got to the front of the line
We were greeted with a smile, “You’re just in time.”
No longer do you see that situation playing out
Hallelujah, breakfast is served all day now.
Pancakes, bacon-egg-and-cheese, get ’em when you want.
It’s 10:20 and I’m strolling in super nonchalant.
Don’t get me wrong now, it’s best as a treat.
It’s certainly not the healthiest thing you could eat.
“You’ll be better off without ’em, it’s not even worth it.”
Everyone has a weakness, and mine is so perfect.
You can clown me if you want, by now I know the drill.
It won’t stop me from loving these tasty sandwiches still.
As long as Mickey D’s has ’em cooking on their grills
I’ll claim that they’re the best, and I probably always will.
To the inventor of McGriddles, I don’t know where to start
“Thank you” doesn’t cover how I feel inside my heart.
Such a special creation, it truly has no flaws.
Or maybe, just maybe…I’m grasping at straws.
