No Eggs

Maplespal

The choices of a choice. 

The tic, tac, and the toe, 

the snap, crackle, and a pop. 

Below, beside and on top. 

Stay, head back, or go. 

The mouse’s run was clocked, 

the spider went up the spout. 

Because the hickory, dickory docked 

the dogs were let loose and out, 

The kettle and the tea pot, 

a-tisket and a-tasket, 

that thing hitting the spot, 

that hole in my basket. 

My egg dropped and rolled away, 

what a start to my day.

  • Comment from author about the poem: Well, threw the rest of the meal away. Consider all of it cursing and swearing because without the egg it is just a bacon sandwich.

    Great use of familiar sayings and nursery rhymes to make a valid point that some things go together and are not the same when a part is missing.

    Happy to have a bacon sarney without an egg. I guess you are a bacon and eggs guy. Not a great start to your day, although your poem was fun to read and enjoyed.
