Over Easy

This egg was a little bit sleazy

They reckoned she turned over easy

Showed off her sunny side

Right down my throat to slide

And now my poor tummy’s turned queasy

Now Trevor why on earth did you pick
An egg which was just a tad over
The poor hen had obviously not connected right
When trying to mate with her lover

The moral to my tale in future Trevor
If you want an egg all shippy shape
Is to watch from a carefully discrete distance
To make sure the connection's not rape

(Getting bit carried away here....think I'd better stop.....it's getting into eggmestic violence ? )

I'm glad I seem to have inspired a flurry of egg poems ?

Apparently it's World Egg Day, so I scrambled a few words....
