'eggs' Asperated

I fancied an omelette
So I bought myself some eggs,
I cracked a few in a bowl
And drained them to the dregs.

Then I got the whisk out
And I gave them a thrashing,
It all got rather vigorous,
The bowl and eggs went crashing.

So I changed tack, and went for fried,
I cracked some in the pan,
I turned the flame to maximum
That's when the fun began.

A friend phoned, I answered,
We had not talked for days,
Fifteen minutes later
My fried eggs were ablaze.

The firemen tut tut tutted
They'd seen it all before,
I promised, when I next have eggs
I'm going to eat them raw!
