Eggs and Such

Having decided on eggs and toast for breakfast, I sat, chewing vigorously, mindlessly trying to come up with a decent topic for some poetry. Nothing came to me, so, using the excuse that a poem can be written about anything at all, I decided on Eggs and Such. I fear the breakfast was better than my poetry. daver

12 big eggs
11 white    one  brown
a dirty dozen

3 large eggs
two whole    one cracked
claw-like protrusion

butch egg
interrogated
cracked    spilled his guts

hen house clamor
shotgun blast
wiley’s last heist

two over-easy
with bacon    toast
mamma for dinner

easter chicken
delivers jelly beans
rabbit raisins

Daver, you cracked me up all the way through this awesome haiku series. Then I get to the bottom and find there are no eggs to be delivered on Easter. You better start having oatmeal... LOL Great work! Love, Carolyn
