Sunny Side Up

 

By Elton Camp

 

It’s my favorite breakfast food of all

Delicious eggs filled with cholesterol

Scrambled they can come out too dry

So sometimes poaching them I’ll try

 

But they way I like them cooked best

That is far superior to any of the rest

The white is set, but a runny yellow

I am not at bit afraid of Salmonella

 

But symptoms began the very next day

Twas off to the bathroom without delay

And so to enter the hospital I was fated

Because I became too badly dehydrated

 

Now when eggs I decide that I’ll eat,

The most safe cooking can’t be beat

I never again expect that I’ll decide

To eat another egg called sunny side
