Breakfast Lovers Fanatsy

…I wrote this in response to the July 5th prompt at Big Tent Poetry



 

Breakfast Lovers Fantasy

whether panning for poached
fishing for fried
or sifting for softly scrambled

maybe bobbing for boiled
or sunny side up
angling for over easy

perhaps baiting a hook
for benedict
or dangling a lure for deviled

be they baked in cakes
or dropped in soup
it’s a whites & yolks wet dream

it’s a breakfast lovers fantasy
going to the eggs stream

    I am SOOO slow this morning - it took me right to the very last line to get it! And then how I laughed!
    I love a good punchline.
