Eggs

Like an omelette I am cheesy and I tell some hammy jokes When I flip it to the punchline I don't always land the yolks I scramble at the thought of keeping it farm fresh Cracking under pressure like a shell in place of flesh Whenever I look way up, I can see the sunny side That can be exhausting and I really feel fried Sometimes it comes overeasy, not to say they've never spoiled Still breaking if you drop em' even if they are hard boiled Maybe I can make you queasy if I'm being really raw So I will never claim to be totally free range of flaw Hope this hasn't been too runny, and a laugh or two I've poached If so I'll take, shake it, bake it for the time I have encroached Next time you're feeling beaten, just whisk it up aways Turn up the heat, add some spice before starting the hollandaise Not to nag or rag or beg, but crack a yolk and shake a leg To be a fun egg or a pun egg or just a damn great egg June 11, 2023

Very clever rhyming and ideas here, Hat. I was thinking of doing the word Eggs myself but now I have a "romantic" word brewing in my mind!!
