Magpie 112 ~ Incredible Edible

Egg Island ~ djajakarta



"Go out to the chicken house. Any eggs that say, ‘Take me,’ you go ahead and take. But if you hear any say, ‘Don’t take me,’ you leave them be."
                                                                           The Talking Eggs, Robert D. San Souci


Incredible, edible egg
Into the frying pan
Into the fire
We cover our eyes
Protect our thin shells
We scream and we point
You! You! You!
Now a topper for toast!
Survivors all ...
Until tomorrow morning

  2. Ooooo
    You know I feel exactly the same way if I cook eggs and have to tell myself, they wouldn't have been born anyway. It doesn't help too much though, and this piece just made me remember why we don't eat an awful lot of them in our house...LOL

  8. I'm not sure how to find them but there are many of these joke photos all over the internet. There is so much cleverness amongst us all. The willingness to upload all this stuff is breathtaking. So many people are spending so much time setting up really clever dstuff so it is easy to find. I feel empowered.

  9. Darwin at work, I'd say. Any egg that can argue for its life should be granted clemency.
