THE SAD TALE OF THE UNFORTUNATE EGG
He purchased me in a local market
and took me away in a wicker basket
and when we got home he put me in
the largest fridge I’d ever seen
the fridge was freezing cold inside
and cold is something I can’t abide
so I was not a happy egg
and before I had the chance to beg
I was taken out and put in a pot
containing water boiling hot
and I was left to sit and sweat
and it wasn’t until my albumin set
that he removed me with a spoon
and I can tell you - not too soon
then into an egg cup I was plopped
and I thought my troubles at last had stopped
so nice and cosy just like bed
till he picked up a spoon and smashed my head
and then as if things couldn’t get worse
he rubbed in salt - boy did I curse!!
