Egg Baby



Oh Egg Baby, how you suffer.  
You shine in the golden crest of an unborn chicken.  
You cry out for help, yet it is nowhere to be found.  
All that encompasses you is the white sea of the outer egg.  
You have no family, Egg Baby.  
All you can wonder is if they loved you, would they save you from this descent to salmonella.  
But then, the Egg talks!
It quietly says, "I am all you ever needed, Egg Baby.
You are my son, the one chosen to fulfill the prophecy."
The egg voice commands, "I have smashed my shell to nurture you.
Though you have shed tears inside my shining vitellus, I will raise you on high.
You shall be master of all that I rule!  
Poached, boiled, or over easy, you shall command my army!"
Egg Baby's thoughts were racing.  You could almost say they were scrambled.
Then, an evil smirk came over his crusty baby face
He stated menacingly, "Eggcellent."
