Why do some eggs crack easily? Their yolks sitting nicely Other eggs shatter Their yolks splatter Perfect eggs are best fried The others should be scrambled If in doubt, boiling could be tried Three minute timer - soft boiled In nature, cock and hen have mated Inside the egg a chick is created The hen lays her egg to brood The chick is born: the egg wasn't food

Great poem - so if we don't eat the egg we sooner or later eat the chicken? :)

The moral of the poem: "One of the the real functions of an egg is to provide food for the unborn chick. We shouldn't eat that birth capsule!"

Now your poem has awakened my red dragon. Why were we given consciences.
