THERE ARE TWO DIFFERENT kinds of folk in the yolk world....a subject that comes to mind because of this week's Mag...thanks Tess, and pass the salt, please...
OVER, NOT EASY
Take it back.
Please.
I don't like leaky yellow
seeping into white goo.
When I say "over"
I mean flip it,
till the edges crunch,
and the yolk looks
as if it can bounce.
Please.
Tease that egg.
Don't serve me
sunny side up,
or runny side down.
A hockey puck
on toast will do.

firm opinions on eggs then ...
nicely composed Magpie
"hockey puck on toast" That's great! This made me smile this morning.
I'm very particular about my eggs, too, in fact these are a bit on the overdone side for me!
Hi Isabel-
Definitely is a visceral reaction..Thanks for the visit!!
Hi Lolamouse-
Any smile in the AM is OK with me!!Thank you..
Hi Tess-
Well, we have to differ about something! French toast, anyone?
Thanks for the possibilities!
Lyn, I like my eggs just the way you describe yours ... minus the hockey puck!
Hi Helen-
I knew I'd find an ally! And hold the puck!
ditto xo
Hi Jeane-
Glad we agree!! thanks!!
lolssssss!
I hear ya girl.. no worries, I can cook perfectly crunchy sunny side ups with yolks firmly cooked as well..
Don't forget to sprinkle some salt!!
Hugs xx
Hi Olivia-
Well, there you go..I just knew I could count on you! And some cracked pepper too..
Very funny and very assertive. "Hockey puck" says it all. To me it is a situational thing...fried like a hockey puck between the slices of a bagel...but gooey if on a plate. The reverse is just wrong on so many levels. Nice write. Vb
Hi versebender-
I like your combo/bagel, and yes
a drippy bagel..nah..as you say "wrong..."
I'm fussy about eggs too liking the crisped edges - if it has runny white yuk - can't touch it!
Anna :o]
mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm! Our hens give us the most amazing eggs. I love mine poached!
Hi HyperCRYPTICal-
Yuk, is right..how do they do it?? So glad you agree, Anna!
Hi mrsnesbitt-
I do like poached, but mine tend to the hard poached! Thanks for visiting...lucky you and your endless supply!
...and Worcestershire sauce, which I think you might call English sauce.
A kind stranger....
Hi Chairman Bill-
I call it Worcestershire too..a bottle lasts about 5 years!
More than kind!!
Very clever! I love how your poem builds until you're shouting "a hockey puck on toast!" I also like the lyrical line "Please Tease that egg!" Witty and whimsical--Fun!
Smiles ... I too like the crunchy edges, but I'm not sure about the hockey puck - that sounds dark!
Hi Margaret-
So pleased to welcome you..thanks so much! I definitely like when I find a lyrical line!
Hi Reflections-
Thank you..a poetic exaggeration!But, for me, better than oozy...haha
So enjoyed this, Lyn.
Make mine scrambled!
Margie :)
I'm a soft and runny type! Heh!
I agree - any way but runnyrunny. :)
Hi Margie-
Comin' right up..I'm a pretty good short order cook!!
Hi Trellissimo-
Well, I just won't look!! Thanks...
Hi Tumblewords-
That's how the world divides, I guess!! Thank you...
Ooh what lovely imagery, you really conjure up those differing egg styles!
LOL, someone's getting their food spit in.
Good writing here, my friend. Tight, perfect for its effect.
Hi Raph-
Thank you, I really had to scramble for this one!!
Hi Steve-
I did this prompt with fingers crossed, enjoyed doing it!! Thanks..
ah Lyn this was a 'happy' lyrical poem, with lots of truth running with those 'over easy' eggs, you are right they have to be perfect.
Another lovely poem served up on a magpie fine china.
