 Two Smoeufs 

 This one is blue.
 That one's blue, too.
 Which one's for you...?
 I haven't a clue.

   


  Two Aieggs

  Aieggs-en-provence 'n' Aieggs-la-chapelle:
  one's mostly white 'n' yolk; one is a shell --
  eneggmatic'lly speaking, one whale of a shell,
  while the other's a dendritic cell's organelle.

Carpe Diembryo! An Eggcentregg Ovaview Eggstra

 

 The 'Ei's Have It* 

 JFK said, 
"Ich bin Ein Berliner,"*
 a Cold-War speech 
 demanding pluck and guts.
 Dumpty Drumpf says, 
"Egg bin nEin der wEiner,"** 
 showing, Drumpf's claim notwithstanding,
 he's a putz. 
 
 *"I'm an egg from Berlin." 'Ei' is egg 
  in German. MAGAE's short for Megg
  Ameregga Grade A Eggain.            . 
 **"I am NOT a dork."

  Shegg, Rattle 'n' Roell

 Gramma swoons while Grampa vomits.
 New recording by the Comets...?
 Yep. (Bill Haley is to blame:
 he craves his quarter hour o' fame.)

Carpe Diembryo! A Pair of Eggcentregg Ovaviews: Knock'd Up & Mutiny

 Knock'd Up
 
 One is 'preggers'; one's 'eggspecting.'
 (Both emotion'lly affecting.)
 One's from circa '48;
 the neggt's a bit more up-to-date.


 Mutiny

 Captain Quegg, a nervous wreck,
 three titmouse eggs as stress balls grips.
 He'll no more haunt the quarterdeck:
 that berry biz* gave Quegg the yips!

     *The infamous incident aboard the Caine   concerning some frozen strawberries.

Runcibl'd Spooner: Bartleby

Melville's tale is good, if odd:
"Bartleby the Scrivener."
Jean Paul's lot...? Grant gifts from God:
Sartre'll be the Brivener.

     *'Briven' in Uganda means 'godgiven.'

Poeuforations

"Hystereggs be my plight," sighs she,
"what with my hystereggtomy."
"Small peanuts! Lookee here," harps he,
"and "Ei"* my appendeggtomy!"

     *'Ei' is German for egg. Here it puns the English verb eye meaning to look at closely.

ShadRoek, Meeshegg & Abedneggo

How d'ya like your eggs prepar'd...?
With a side of hash browns pair'd...?
Poach'd, fried, soft-boil'd...? Don't concern us.
Roast 'em in a fiery furnace!


  Coeufew
 
  Kanamuna* runs through town
  in their** Valentino gown:
  "Tock-tick-tock-tick-tock-tick-tock...
  All is well; 'tis egg o'clock."

       *Egg in Finnish   **Preferred pronoun


 Moeufy's Law
 
 To Murphy's Law a corollary,
 Moeufy's Law is cautionary:
 "Place an egg atop your toilet...?
 Break it must before you boil it."

 The Lay of the Egg
 
 Agges aggo, on a planet call'd Oeuf
 (it now enjoys soeuf circumscribing its toeuf),
 there was only an ovoid instead of a ball,
 with a hard-boil'd eggquator encircling it all.


 Touloeuf Lautregg 

 He blossom'd 'n' thrived
 in the rude Place Pigalle.
 (For a Jacques Blanc* so-o-o-o pocket-sized...
 ...pas mal, pas mal!)

     *Equivalent in France to 'John Doe.'

Ozzymoron

Does prosper Roger Federer...?
In sev'ral ways does Roger err.
Of Roger, few be fonder; er-
-go (though I'm not a slanderer)
my stand's he's a philanderer.
     Still, Roger's wife calls Federer her
scrappy Happy Wanderer -- her
ur-irrev'rent metaphor for
panderer Herr Federer. 
     So, though the man's no Mel Ferrer,*
to whom I worry to refer, 
remains he Roger Federer.

     * Married five times

    The Winnebeggo

    In Navaho it means "Great-Egg-
    Which-Transports-White-Man's-Kin."
    Its window screen displays decals
    which boast of where it's been.



The 
Woeuffleball

This alter'd ball you strive to hit.
You strike; you swipe. You slap; you swat.
But do you e'er connect with it...?
No, you do not. No, you do not.


 
Caviar Xugat

As light-brown as a Cuban claro,
Señor Xugat married Charo.
Wedded, too, to Abbe Lane,
his tango -- last -- he danced in Spain.



Gegger Counter

If the egg comes from a chicken,
"..tick, tick, tick..." the counter's clickin.'
If the egg comes from a duck,
the counter clicks, "cluck, cluck, cluck, cluck..."



WEinfrey & WEight

Harpo's Ovah...? 
Pegg in clova.
Hair...? Begg! Bucks...? Begg!
(Begg all ova.)





 
   Poachise

   "How!" ("...d'ya like yer eggs,") asks he.
   Which side up...? The side that's sunny...?
   Soft-boil'd...? Minutes two...? Or three...?
   And should yer yolks be hard or runny...?"
