Eggs & Milk

 

Eggs!

A hen discards, from her feathered butt

a hard-shelled, goo-filled

two-toned chick dome

past-tense embryonic hut

 

Who thought, ‘hey neat

looks good enough to eat’

despite the fact that it might be

a chicken poop and not a treat

 

Milk!

A cow lets drip, from her multi-nippled utter

a warm off-whitish liquid

that when churned turns into butter

 

Who thought, ‘Ooo yum

just might taste like spiced rum’

ignoring that it begins at

a skin jug resting near the bum

 

We scorn, farm dogs

when they feast upon doo doo

but we may as well yell at ourselves

‘cause Eggs & Milk could be poo too
