Eggs, Eggs, Glorious Eggs

Eggs, eggs, glorious eggs I could eat 'em three time a day Scrambled, poached or sunny side up I love 'em any old way Eggs, eggs, glorious eggs Like a yummy egg salad sandwich Devilled eggs, I could eat by the dozen I'll even try one from an ostrich Eggs, eggs, glorious eggs Now to some, this may sound icky At times I'll add a raw one to my cereal That's probably not for the finicky Eggs, eggs, glorious eggs I'm aware of a most recent recall Detected a trace of salmonella poisoning Now that won't deter me at all Eggs, eggs, glorious eggs Just keep eating 'em, don't have a choice A day without these delightful wee treasures Is the pits, no chance to rejoice © Jack Ellison 2012

Awesome one! This reminded me of an Egg song from a kids movie. "You can smell them, feel them, oh crack them open! For a great big nestful I am hopin! " Hehe As long as they're cooked and as long as they aint rotten I'd never turn down an egg. Always, Laura

Im an over easy guy myself. I found this poem to be quite eggceptional.

Ah, an egg a day keeps the chicken at play but better not look when they're in the fray! :) Such fun, you have a gift to keep people happy and sunny side up. Luv, Lizzy

When I read the title of your poem here, it was my own poem: "I Do Not Want Eggs - Do Not Like Eggs" mine thoughts went to. - It is a poem that I'm sure you will like. (?) It does not resemble your poem Jack, it was "egg titled" which reminded me of that. I like your poem very much. - I wish you a great Sunday afternoon. - oxox / / Anne-Lise :)

The Salmonella is not a problem if they are well cooked..They say about 1 in 10,000 eggs has it in them in just average normal eggs..So for goodness sake cook them don't eat them raw..Enjoyed reading your creative work..I also like eggs..I think now would be a good time to go cook me one..Sara
