Eggs Up Cookies Down

Egg prices are cracking the ceiling,
as, not too well, the birds are feeling,
but you won't see me wear a frown, 
as cupcakes and cookies have gone down.

Do they still use eggs in cupcakes? Bakers probably get first dibs. I enjoy your poem.

Actually, I've never made cupcakes, so I don't know about that. They are good, but a bit sweet for me. On the other hand, if they're chocolate - watch out. Then, I would have to be chained up, or placed in a cage.

I think it was Floridians, on the news, asking to keep backyard chickens. It is always wild what a year brings.

Strangely enough, for years, my brother has raised chickens in his yard, but that's another story. Maybe, it's finally paying off.

Hi David. I'll gladly trade you 2 dozen eggs for a dozen cookies.

Haha, hi Lin, that sounds like a decent exchange rate - but the cookies are already gone! This conversation is sure making me hungry.
