Miz Quickly’s Alchemy

fried egg

Egg Alchemy

It’s all about that last egg.
Stashed like a pearl, a gem
hurled like a ball to the back
of the fridge. In the outfield.

And so I fried it.

On toast it sits with bits of
ham. A spill of golden yolk.
Oh man. Oh man, now
we’re talking. Wow.

Pass the Tabasco.

    I once kept an egg a really, really long time – just to see what happens.
    The inside turned into a lead ball that rattled in the shell. No I did not open it – I did not want to be over come by ‘rotten egg’ smell. 😉

        I might have to do that experiment again. The egg that had it’s innards get hard might have been hard boiled to begin with… But it was for a very long time.

    This is great, I love the “hurled like a ball to the back” and the “Oh man, oh man, now we’re talking. Wow!”
