Eggs Today For Free No Pay
Eggs today. For free. No pay!
What kind do you have? Mink eggs.
Mink eggs! For real?
Why would I lie? They are furry and tickle.
I stare in disbelief.
We have elephant eggs and oyster eggs too!
I stare. What part of the country are we visiting?
My husband looks at me. “Which do you want?” he asks.
As if this is normal.
We have some dipped in chocolate, they are surprise eggs.
You do not know until you take a bite what they are.
I stare at my husband. You choose, I tell him.
Do you have pink elephant eggs?
Sure! I will take a dozen.
