Joseph May Poet Rhyme

Egged On

Don't  put all your eggs into one basket
     they may drop and burst, ending up in a casket
         Having egg on your face                                               
  can be a big disgrace

If someone eggs you on
    then trouble might be to blame
a "duck's egg" in a game
    is the loser's shame

 when your nickname is egghead
     it's something you may dread
  an omelet is so tasty to eat
      making it an 'eggcellent' treat 
                         ~ 
for Susan's 'Eggs' contest

Elizabeth Wesley June 20, 2012 at 3:17 PM Your basket of eggs is eggcellent Joseph. I used to watch the hens do the laying when I was a kid and it was fascinating!

Andrea Dietrich June 9, 2012 at 8:07 PM You sure think a lot like I do. I was going to research all the different ways to use egg and think of how to write about it. Looks like you kind of beat me to the punch again! But I am gonna work on it!!! Joseph May June 10, 2012 at 9:33 AM thanks you Andrea....there are many eggciting things you can do with this theme..
