The egg is an amazing thing
And I for one could always sing
Its praises, for it’s packaged well
Within its own protective shell.
And in it you will surely find
Fine nutrients of every kind.
It can be cooked in many ways,
Prepared in minutes, not hours or days.
And I don't want to sound contrarian
But sterile eggs are vegetarian.
Not just an ordinary view but rather,
The considered view of the nation's father.
Now Quiche and Pies are so inviting
But Akoori and Pora are most eggciting.
Though vegetables don’t go down well
But even they can taste just swell
When we top them with some eggs.
That’s how you give ghaas-phoos some legs!
It’s eggs that provide the fringe a BBC
When on a lacey cutlet binge.
Eggs are esential when you bake.
There are many deserts that you can make.
There’s Creme Brûlée, custard and cake.
But Floating Island would be my take.
There is so much to choose, By Gosh!
Waffles, Muffins, Crêpes, Brioche!
Whether it’s breakfast, lunch or dinner
A good egg dish will be the winner.
