Ode to a Boiled Egg

It's a little meal
A gooey mess
A place to dip your toast.

A yellow yolk
Encased in white
Two inches wide at most.

You crack the shell
Impale the yolk
Drench that little soldier. 

White toast, brown toast,
Bread stick, roll,
A cracker, if you're bolder.

I thank the hen
Who laid this egg
She's from the inner city.

Thank you for the protein
And the fuel to write this ditty.
