Fried Eggs

Fried eggs

on a Friday

it made sense, I thought

a hearty breakfast

like a shining sun on a plate

as a salve

for the heart that eats

and beats alone

but an error

in the making

had me chewing

on sour bacon

and I just knew

it was going to be

a pig of a day.

Fried eggs. I love them, but there's an art to flipping them without breaking the yolk. You've got to have a dippy egg for your toast, right? Lol, I love how you took the mundane of breakfast to another level. Thanks for the smile, Renata. Good to meet you!

I am yet to master that art of flipping, unfortunately. Thank you for your kind words today, Kelly.

It's all in the wrist...I think. That, and a firm spatula!

I am a breakfast lover, so I have mastered the turning of the egg. But over hear in usa(I'm ducking) eggs are expensive. We can buy weed in a store now but eggs I'm buying on the street lol

It's the same here. Some food staples have become ridiculously expensive. Thank you, D.

Imagine how the poor pig must have felt:))
Good morning

Hmm. He didn’t taste too well, either. Thank you, Gee.

Very clever wordplay, Renata.
I like my friend eggs sunny-side up...because they do look like a sun setting on a white cloud.
And I have had pigs of days as well...somehow the aftertaste of the bacon feels greasy and heavy.

Thank you, Jacob. Some days just start off badly and never improve. This was one of those days. My sunny side ups landed sunny side down on the kitchen floor.
