   A further grass-fed dozen.
   To view imegge larger, 
   click on it.


 Lay'd Egg Haggah 

 Superb duets with Tony Bennett 
 seem'd a leading Haggah tenet --
 plus, she sung 'em like she me'n' it.
 (Next...? Her bid for U.S. Senate...?)


  The Oeufs

   One sports hair of astroturf;
   one resembles Bennett Cerf;
   one could pass for Grouchy Smurf:
   Virgil, Morgan, Wyatt Oeuf.



  The Shirr'd Deggree

   Charged with murder in the second,
   perp's intention must be reckon'd.
   To discern his motivation
   launch enhanced interreggation!
  The Ovaries 
 
  This oeufabet's an alphabet,
  each plate an ovary.
  The last plate shows Ovary Z,*
  a fresh "disc-overy."
 
  *Not to be confused with 'over easy."


   Nosferoetu 
  
  Boeuffy works
  as vampire's layer.
  (Dreggula's her
  egg perveyor.)
Yolks

This 'weggen's 
custom built for 'volk.'
It gets 200 
miles-per-yolk.

 The Eggermans 
    
  In "A Little Night Musegg"
  the Eggermans sing:
  " Now..." "♫ Soon..." and "♪ Later..."
  (Each does each's thing.)


     Los Huevos 
  
      Few people reggcognize
      gravity waves,
      whereas gravity huevos 
      prompt breakfast-nook raves.


    Grade A 
  
     I'm a fan 
     o' Gail O'Grade A
     since her "NYPD" 
     heyday.


    The Plegggue 
 
     Who lets pleggue 
     advance uncheck'd...?
     (If you think Drumpf does,
     you're correct.)


     Peggos Bill
 
     Teggs O'Reilly
     proves it's true:
     Peggos Bill loves
     Sloeufoot Soeu.'


     Cregg (1951-2016) 

       So long, Segger!
       Rest in peace!
       Your scrambl'd sportcoats...?
       Golden fleece.
