Sense Sonnet - Pumper

Chicago - Aunt Jemima

Chicago - 1893,
First debuting at the World's Fair -
Aunt Jemima's pancake mix be
A favorite with the crowds there.
A former slave named Nancy Green
Took on the Aunt Jemima role.
Instant pancakes did make the scene,
Fast food made with a warmly soul.
Aunt Jemima made such a hit,
She got a lifetime contract to
Push the pancake mix as befit
What as a slave she used to do.

Too long the public did not gripe -
Aunt Jemima, stereotype.
