Amongst the baker’s dozen.

Amongst the baker’s dozen.

A Poem by andrew mitchell

This is an egg news flash.

Please remain seated.
We don’t want any egg-xieties or
everyone getting egg-cited!
Apparently, amongst us,
there is a bad egg!
I know! I know!
We are working hard on the case.
He or she goes under the number thirteen,
and the code name is baker’s dozen.
We will get to the bottom of the carton, we promise.
Can’t be too hard. There’s only twelve to a carton!
So everyone keep an egg-watch,
remain calm, and when fulfilling
your menu requirements be it
poached or scrambled, toast will be looking out too
for the culprit.
It’s only a matter of time,
the suspect is white, oval
and normal size.
Just be diligent!
We don’t want egg on our faces!
Thank you.
That was the Egg-Commissioner of Police.

Egg-tastic Andrew cracked me up. Had a good yolk at this one.
