Fried Egg

A portly man with manner, droll, 
approached an egg out on a stroll,
kindly offering him a ride,
and soon that egg was fried.

That’s life… trust no one. I must thank you for this write as it’s jogged my memory about the bones of a poem I was concocting in my head last night. I had completely forgotten even the subject matter, but now I remember it well. A fun write, David, though not so much for the egg. Terry

now that's the wittiest, funniest epigram I've ever seen. Wish I had your wit...hubby says I'm too serious most of the time....comes from being focused and disciplined I suppose. Faving this one

Why thanks Sara! and I have trouble being serious...maybe there's a happy medium somewhere.
