Holy Yolks

A chicken farmer belittled native folks.
He said their beliefs were akin to jokes.
The natives put a curse on him
He laughed and called it a whim.
Until his chickens had eggs minus yolks.

G'day Paul... this might have upset the chicken farmer Paul, but he'll get over it when the chefs who make meringues get word of it he'll make a fortune; they discard the yolks... however, I wouldn't be happy buying his cackleberries - thanks Paul - Lindsay

Lindsay, I hadn't thought of that--a thriving market for yolkless eggs! But, dang it, you're always several sentences ahead of me. Thanks, as always, for stopping by with an insightful comment.
