my shiny wrapper
hides a gossamer thin shell
of oval ego
the self-centred sick yolk
of albumenandwomen
who seek attention.
you're looking at me
on the shelf, thinking
oeuf, oeuf, oeuf
love, love, love.
and I'm thinking
me, me, me
it's all about me, not you
and I'm chocolate enough
to eat myself, if I have to.
French teacher's joke about Easter egg moderation - "One egg is un oeuf".
Boom boom.
Thanks Raj for reading and commenting. Happy Easter to you, too. May all your eggs have two yolks ?

Nice one Paul . HAPPY EASTER!!
"it's all about me, not you
and I'm chocolate enough..." -- quite Willy Wonkarish.
Oeuf à la coque (can you say that in English?)

Hi Col, thanks for the wonderfully nutty (and wonderfully well-crafted) comments, just what the doctor ordered on such a cold and miserable day. Thanks for the dvd prize, too, loved the eggheads titles.
So pleased you picked out 'albumenandwomen' for praise. And, yeah, the cow and egg gag, very good. I was tempted to use "boeuf, boeuf, boeuf" but, sadly, couldn't get it to work.
Immense thanks for this hilarity. Happy Easter. Hope you feel better v.v. soon.

Yay! Happy Easter! Send chocolate - I hear it soothes a sore throat.
gossamer thin and fetherlite - it's a chocolate egg filled with condoms! What a surprise!
albumenandwomen deserves a prize - on its way a dvd box set of the Eggheads TV Show Series 1-18 with 6 celebrity specials and spin-off shows Are You An Egghead? / Revenge Of The Egghead / Make Me An Egghead. Congratulations!
there's only one thing separating a French cow from a French egg and that's a bee - work it out.
toodle-oo ?
