Sunny Side Up Please
Sunny Side Up Please
By Elton Camp
As to eating runny eggs, experts say
It’s far preferable just to run away
Undercooked yolk & translucent white
Due to salmonella, are quite a fright
Such cooking, the CDC does deride
For eggs are laid with germs inside
Consuming “over light” is a mistake
Frying them on both sides it does take
If you find that the eggs are oozing,
Food poisoning you may be choosing
It happens over 1,000 times a year
With 30 more cases for one we hear
To avoid undercooked eggs, do try
They’re unlikely to make you die
But barfing and the runs will be bad
From the raw egg that you just had
