Ode to an Egg
Eggs
So soft and succulent
The way they crack
And spill their insides on the searing hot pan
The yolk
So yellow and tasty
The way it sizzles as you pour it on the stove
And the way it runs down your plate when you cut it open
The Egg white
Delicious but no so healthy
Staring at the pan so I can see your translucent body turn white
But gawking at the smell of you when you go bad
The shell
The first thing I see in the morning
When I take you out of the carton it seems like you are eager to say
“Hello, please eat me”
Consuming you brings joy to my day
Though I am sad that you could not stay
But you make me happy when you are paired with you brother, bacon.
I know that you would have wanted it this way
Goodbye old friend
