Jack Ellison Poet Quatrain

Eggs, Eggs, Glorious Eggs

Eggs, eggs, glorious eggs
I could eat 'em three time a day
Scrambled, poached or sunny side up
I love 'em any old way

Eggs, eggs, glorious eggs
Like a yummy egg salad sandwich
Devilled eggs, I could eat by the dozen
I'll even try one from an ostrich

Eggs, eggs, glorious eggs
Now to some, this may sound icky
At times I'll add a raw one to my cereal
That's probably not for the finicky

Eggs, eggs, glorious eggs
I'm aware of a most recent recall
Detected a trace of salmonella poisoning
Now that won't deter me at all

Eggs, eggs, glorious eggs
Just keep eating 'em, don't have a choice
A day without these delightful wee treasures
Is the pits, no chance to rejoice

Laura Breidenthal September 12, 2013 at 6:12 PM Awesome one! This reminded me of an Egg song from a kids movie. "You can smell them, feel them, oh crack them open! For a great big nestful I am hopin! " Hehe As long as they're cooked and as long as they aint rotten I'd never turn down an egg. Always, Laura Jack Ellison September 12, 2013 at 7:05 PM Three times a day if I didn't attract these strange glances! LOL Love ya Laura xoxoxox

Joe Inka December 4, 2012 at 12:13 PM Im an over easy guy myself. I found this poem to be quite eggceptional. Jack Ellison December 4, 2012 at 2:11 PM "eggceptional"... great! Gonna remember that one! LOL Cheers, Jack

Elizabeth Wesley November 26, 2012 at 5:25 AM Ah, an egg a day keeps the chicken at play but better not look when they're in the fray! :) Such fun, you have a gift to keep people happy and sunny side up. Luv, Lizzy Jack Ellison November 26, 2012 at 5:28 AM WOWSERS! A great big thank you my dear sweet Lizzy for all those kind words! Have a super duper Monday! Love and hugs, Jack

Richard Lamoureux November 25, 2012 at 5:59 PM You lost me when you put a raw egg in your cereal. Another fun write Jack! Jack Ellison November 25, 2012 at 6:09 PM Just joshing, my friend! Not something I'll ever try! LOL Thanks once more Mr. West Coast Richard!

Anne-Lise Andresen November 25, 2012 at 3:05 PM When I read the title of your poem here, it was my own poem: "I Do Not Want Eggs - Do Not Like Eggs" mine thoughts went to. - It is a poem that I'm sure you will like. (?) It does not resemble your poem Jack, it was "egg titled" which reminded me of that. I like your poem very much. - I wish you a great Sunday afternoon. - oxox / / Anne-Lise :) Jack Ellison November 25, 2012 at 5:18 PM Went to your site and reviewed your 'egg' poem! Loved it! Thanks for your kind comments, Anne-Lise... love and happy thoughts, Jack xxx

Carol Eastman November 25, 2012 at 2:12 PM I get one the good side of me paw by fixing him bacon and eggs, every single morn. Yummm... Yummm! Jack Ellison November 25, 2012 at 5:20 PM One of my favourite foods, any way you make 'em! A day without eggs is like a day without eggs! LOL Big huggeroonies, Jake xox
