I am white
Shaped of an oval,
plump and light.
I am destined for your gut
Having emerged from
a chickenʼs butt.
A fragile shell
with yolk inside
You might like me
scrambled or fried.
I was going to be
a poultry bird
but instead
Iʼm cracked and stirred.
Itʼs ok, itʼs just as well
itʼs better than
that barnyard smell.
You picked me out at the store
I came with friends, eleven more.
If youʼre not careful I will break
and that would be a big mistake.
So handle me gently OK, fella?
or I will spread Salmonella.
