EGGS

Each morning round about the hour of

eight

Three eggs are brought to me upon a

plate-

Poached fruit of some obliging hen- And there they wait

My surgeon's knife upon each yellow

abdomen.

More willing bird was never found Than China's hen. The whole year

round

She lays her trophy at the feet of men And then

With modest cluck does it again,

Both white and brown.

In England now, it is related,

Eggs are mostly dehydrated.

Not once a day, or even week; But one in four

The British fowl performs her task Then snaps her beak

And says: "No more."

Women in the lengthening queue, Whose belts are tight, whose lips are

blue,

Whisper sadly: "Is it true? How very strange in far Cathay That they can have three eggs a day We'd like it, too.”

Thus, when about the busy street Vendors tangle up the feet, And spit and publicly excrete, In silence, turn the face. When traffic jams and prices soar, And wages do not any more, And dollars, flouting Newton's law, Fly off into space,

Ponder and congratulate Yourselves that round about the hour

of eight

You can have three eggs on a plate.
