Eggs Please

No eggs again! This is complete rot, so put my chickens upon the spot. I warned them today, get back on the lay, or you’ll lay with veggies in a pot.

Those fresh eggs aren’t all they’re cracked up to be. It’s beyond a yolk, but don’t get in a flap, just shell out on some new birds and some nice spicy bread-crumbs. Sorry, couldn’t resist it... but you started it! Good one, Lindsay. Terry

Hi Lindsay, My daughter in law (who is actually like a daughter to me) is a Doctor of Literature in profession but at home does carpentry and plants veg and keeps chickens. I am going to send her this poem she will love it! Blessings and hugs, Jennifer.
