Funny Food Poetry: Eggs

Food is funny.  Cooking is funny.  I just don't see how others can't see it that way.  The craziest things happen to me while I'm in the kitchen.  So I like to write about my quirky thoughts on this culinary journey of mine.  Here's a poem I came up with a few days ago.... my ode to eggs.... Enjoy!

Mandy's Ode to Eggs

I crack you up
For breakfast, dinner and lunch

I start to panic

If I don't have a bunch

Mixed in for cakes
Or scrambled with bacon and cheese

I'll take two dozen

And jumbo-size please

I wonder...do you come first

Or last after the chicken?

You are loved and adored by many

Just like a classic by Charles Dickens.

Although you do smell bad

If you've been out or in heat for awhile

And you're very nasty in an upchuck

Which I've experienced all over the tile.

Still I love your variety

And how you lend yourself to all

Just be careful the next time

You go to sit on a wall.

Please know that I will always need you

And want to keep you around

So that I can boil you and beat you

Before you can ever utter a sound.

Here are several recipes with eggs that I hope to make in the coming months:

Simple Overnight Egg Casserole

Egg Drop Soup

Spinach Quiche

Healthier Creme Brulee

Low fat Pumpkin Flan

Do you have an egg recipe that I can add to my list above? Do you have a favorite egg dish?  Tomorrow I will share with you the egg (and grits) casserole that inspired this poem for me. 


How often do you cook or bake with eggs?  I like to keep two dozen on hand in my house at all times because of how often I use them!
