If you were an egg

scary

It’s an adventure

Every time we lift the cloche

To see what’s for lunch

If at least it’s edible

It won’t be regrettable

suckers

We’re all kids

When we see candy

It could be

Chocolate

Or something flavored like fruit

Break out our big smiles

Let there be

Almonds everywhere

In cookies

And almond milk for coffee

Cooked half the carrots

They should have lasted all week

But then I ate one

The fork just kept on moving

Bugs ain’t got nothing on me
