Judging An Egg By Its Shell

Judging An Egg by Its Shell

Elton Camp

Nothing of any significance can one tell
Judging an egg by the color of its shell

The nutritional value is really just the same
Regardless of the shell color that you name

But the white eggs don’t truly view it that way
Separated from the brown they prefer to stay

Although when you get to what is inside
Neither color has anything it needs to hide

Some of the brown eggs think they are the best
Actually they’re no better or worse than the rest
