EGGS

Five others like me were part of a friendly group 
Soon to be disbanded alas in one foul swoop 
For one of us will be taken from the box today
Beaten up by a fork isn't pleasant I have to say 

I'm the one that's been selected just so you know
My outer shell is broken and into a cup I go
I'll end up in a pan being scrambled or fried 
Maybe poached there is just nowhere to hide 

My final destination is on a very pretty plate 
Sausage and chips will be a temporary mate 
It's not easy being an egg that's certainly for sure
Sometimes dropped and ending up on the floor
