Considewr the Egg

CONSIDER THE EGG The eggs of chickens are very small, But their use is quite versatile Compared to the eggs of emus... Let's think about that for a while. Can be boiled, scrambled or fried, Tasty omelettes, or even poached. They are used in cakes for baking, Or combined with bacon and toast. Breakfast's choice is often eggs, A very good start to the day. Used in salads and sandwiches Eggs can be enjoyed any way. All custard tarts must contain eggs, Which causes the custard to set, This isn't done with emu eggs As chicken ones are the best bet. Rich in vitamins and protein In nutrition they're very high, Not the cause of cholesterol, Your diet should give them a try. The egg shell is oval in shape It has colours of white or brown. The hen may use a nesting box, For eggs to safely be laid down. The chicken's a worthy contender, Though her eggs are smaller in size, They're cheap to buy by the dozen She deserves a Pullet Surprise. Copyright © Vivien Wade May 2017

Clever Vivien, You have made me hungry for bacon and eggs for breakfast, and I haven't had a custard tart in over 20 years. You have considered this well, the chicken is indeed versatile. They may seem dumb but I think it's just an act. BTW, ease up on the emu eggs lol. Kind regards, Craig
