Replying to a comment on:

Egg, Egg, Egg, Egg, Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeegggggggggggg!

30-Sep-03/4:43 PM

Since there had been some dispute over the merit of this poem, I would like to explain why I wrote it:

a)Eggs provide a tasty, nutritious and versatile snack. They can be prepared in a great variety of different ways, e.g. boiled, poached, fried, scrambled, barbequed, fermented, etc.
b)The standard chicken egg is ejected from the chicken's only orifice (not including beak).
c)Aside from chicken eggs, several other types of egg are delightfully entertaining, e.g. quail eggs, dinosaur eggs, etc.
d)Sick, slime-oozing eggs are also laid by aliens, possibly some kinds of mutants, and to a lesser extent, insects.
e)There are many amusing egg-based puns which can be made, especially during the run-up to Easter.
f)Eggs are just obviously excellent.
g)Egg.
h)The theme tune from Monkey Magic contains the line "They were born from an egg on a mountain top".
i)The egg is a much more efficient method of spawning oneself than giving birth to live young.
j)If you don't like eggs, then you are gay.
k)How could you possibly not think a poem about an egg was great?
l)The sound "Egg" is also present in a number of respectable names such as Egbert and Eggnlebert Humpledink.
m)They make admirable projectiles.
n)Q.E.D.
