On Eggs

(on reading an article in the newspaper

about cholesterol in eggs)—

 

I find myself in a sticky wicket

for eggs to me are just the ticket.

I like them boiled,

I like them fried.

I like the yoke that’s hid inside.

On Easter I like to see them dyed.

I like them mixed up in a custard,

or in the den with Colonel Mustard.

I like the large ones in a stew;

I like the bite size small ones too.

I love them when they’re Benedict

and make quite sure my plate is licked.

In every way they can’t be beat.

For me an egg is the ultimate treat.

On Eggs (Again)

(on reading an article in the newspaper

that says eggs aren’t bad after all)

 

Well...now they say that eggs are good

Deep down inside, I knew they would.

It makes me sick, it makes me mad

to think of the eggs I could have had

Instead of stuff made from soybean shoots

and other tasteless substitutes.

Instead of slimey oatmeal cakes.

Instead of diet breakfast shakes.

Instead of sliced fried cream of wheat,

Mixed with some strange mystery meat

Flakey corn and puffed up rice,

that look like droppings left by mice.

I ate all these things, you see

Cause they were sposed to be good for me

and now they say that all along

They weren’t right; they got it wrong.

Well I’m just glad I lived to see

That eating eggs is good for me.

And I will eat an egg a day

until the time I pass away.
