Thoughts of lust provoked
The silkiness of liquid sunshine
As I lay it on my eager tongue
The texture, so thick and sublime
I shiver, shake, I’m all undone
There is nothing like a simple egg
To please the hunger of a soul
The egg will never make you beg
Once eaten, you’re sated and whole.

An egg is perfect in its own way… package and perfection all in one.

I’ll never look at an egg the same way again! They are something once they come out of their shells!

O, eggs! I can almost hear those boys from Oliver! (the 1968 movie) sing Food Glorious Food, but with a twist 🙂
“…Magical eggs,
Wonderful eggs,
Marvelous eggs,
Fabulous eggs,
Beautiful eggs,
Glorious eggs…”

Well, this is such a great post to create a real yearning for eggs, in any form. I’m a fan of hardboiled because they travel well and love them with just salt! Now I’m craving a deviled egg sandwich! Are you getting a commission for the Egg Council? LOL!
