Love Those Little Buggers

Could easily eat eggs three times a day Love those little buggers so much Thanks to the hens for being so gracious Providing us with omelets and such Heard some people even eat 'em raw Now that's not for me I'm afraid Said I loved 'em but I must draw the line Not for me even if I was paid If hens could talk I'm sure they'd be saying “What are you people doing Eating 'em raw was never in the contract” They'd be clucking like hell or fuming My relationship with almost all of the hens Is mutually one of good trust I go by the rules, over-easy or omelets Respecting their feelings is a must May think I'm strange talking to chickens Have other strange quirks as well But they'll have to wait for another day My brain must rest for a spell

Talking to chickens is fine, talking to eggs... ;) I love my eggs too, we get we get happy hen's eggs delivered from a friend's farm. Almost got their one white hen cuz she wasn't laying, she must've heard (though if I got her alive I'd have to keep her as a pet, though not legal in town, YET...) xomo!
