Patrick Reginald Chalmers (1872-1942) was an Irish writer and banker…His work covered many different areas, including horse racing, hunting, and field sports. Although he is not often credited with it, Chalmers coined the phrase "Roundabouts and Swings," which has become a common phrase in the English language. His most notable works include: "Green Days and Blue Days" (1912) and "A Peck of Malt (1915)." Pancakes is a charming and moving poem that is not to be missed by fans of Chalmers work and poetry lovers in general.
