EGG - centri- CITY

This is the season
to think ova.
Guess I’ll have to think
that ova;

Eggs hard-boiled
And soaked in brine
With caraway seed
Will be just fine

And beet juice dyes
And waxy lines in
Purple, yellow, e’en
sometimes

to blow some eggs
and make 'em light
a hole each end
& orange yokes bright

spill into a bowl
to be cook-ed later;
a He’s Risen! soufflé
Or scramblin’ sater

To be served with ‘basco
And hash-brown taters
Les whomp us up
a blue sp. plater

Impossible at Easter
to under-rater!
When eggs rule all
In our refrig-

erator.
