The Egg Beater

I treated you well, so it’s stumped me
A fat little white dude has dumped me!
For revenge I might bake
Your insides in a cake.
Better run for your life, Humpty Dumpty!

No sunny side up for you, Guy!
Forget about cake; you shall fry.
Your whites and your yolk
I will scramble. No joke!
Tonight, Rotten Egg, you shall die.


An oldie for Brian Strand's the 'ALL YOURS (MAY 20)' Poetry Contest

Page 5 again! (I hope you don't mind! If it's not ok that I read page 5 Poems, would you let me know?) This one is a Highly entertaining Limerick! --- yes I'm dating Sherry!! -- Wymark's Room: He was attempting to move out to a New apartment. He lived there 7 years and had 8 more hours before moving once and for all

Andrea, wow! I can't believe I forgot to thank you for the nice and silly poem you entered in my contest. A late late late CONGRATULATIONS. Thank you for the smirks and smiles your poem gave me while reading it. Hope you can forgive me, it is not like me to stoop low and diss all who support me or my contest. Even if I get no response, everyone still matters, and I try my best... Love love LINDA...

He may argue, plead and harangue/ But for scorning he'll certainly hang/ For his presumptous slights/ She's beaten his whites/ And toasted them in a meringue

It's clever how you've used the phrase 'Rotten Egg' to convey the meaning of the whole poem. Revenge is sweet, huh, especially when it can be eaten! Congtrats on your win Andrea!
