Experiments With Eggs
Fur pies don't sell so bakers use eggs
It is evident in the historical records
The unborn remnants inside the shell
Children of the chicken
Are soft and gooey and easier to use
Fur coats are difficult to swallow
No matter what PETA says and they say a lot
I'm not impressed because not all animals are pets
As a matter of fact I eat meat in sandwiches
And wear fur in Winter to keep me warm
It's true. Fur does not taste so good in pies
Bakers will attest to that in a court of law
In fact they do on every occasion of the day
“Yes your honor.” “I am here to testify.”
“Eggs are better for making pies”
“Fur gets caught in the throats of customers”
Eggs come in groups of twelve in separate compartments
Kept in Styrofoam or cardboard cartons for their protection
It gets bad for them when the bombs drop on your house
And eggs happen to be home at the time
They could crack. You could lose track of the count
Eggs can't scramble themselves
They hold up better in bomb shelters and bakeries
Fur comes with a warning, “Wash by hand in warm water”
They should add, “Not to be used in pies?
“Not to be consumed by public or private citizens at large”
Fur pies don't sell so bakers use eggs
But must remember to discard the shells
People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals
Like fur and fury animals and eggs
It is fine to experiment in my estimation
Woodland creatures don't care what you use
Unless you are thinking about making a stew
Making a pie or coat goes without question
