Sunny Side Up

Hens in a hen house all wanted to cook Some would bake and some would look They didn’t have dough, so bread they did not But plenty of eggs which they scrambled a lot. They got bored with the same ol’ style Tossed in some new herbs of sesame, Delighted the taste was a great success They decided to advance their cooking process Made omelets with cheese covered with paprika A mighty fine dish which they announced “eureka” One egg fell to the floor and was admired how it laid flat “Gee” said one hen, “can’t we do something with that”? They had many ideas to make it a delight One wanted to roll it but wasn’t just right. Another said to fry it with a dash of nutmeg Turned out to be the best doggone fried egg. They flipped it over and flip it twice debating which would be rather nice to have it on plate or in a cup little chick said “how about sunny side up”?
