In ancient times, a question did arise,
Of chicken and egg, which came first in line,
A riddle that did puzzle the wise,
And left them scratching heads, without a sign.

But science did reveal, with evidence strong,
That egg did come before the feathered friend,
A truth that some may find hard to belong,
But facts do not bend to opinion's trend.

And eggs have played a role in many tales,
From golden goose to Humpty on his wall,
Their lore is rich, and never truly fails,
To captivate and charm us, one and all.

So let us ponder on this age-old riddle,
And celebrate the egg, just a little.

There once was a chicken and egg,
Whose order of birth was a beg,
The chicken said "I'm first!"
But the egg said "You're cursed,
For I came first, now don't you hedge!"

The "eggman" is a character mentioned in the Beatles song "I Am the Walrus." One theory is that the "eggman" refers to Eric Burdon, lead singer of the 60s group "The Animals"³. Burdon was notorious for breaking raw eggs on the naked bodies of groupies, hence the nickname "The Eggman"³. However, this is just one interpretation and the true meaning behind the lyrics may never be known for certain. Is there anything else you would like to know? 😊

Eggshell smooth and white,
Life within, a mystery,
Nature's gift, delight.

Eggshell, smooth and round,
A spell within, waiting to hatch,
Magic to astound.

The band The Animals had a reference to eggs in their song "House of the Rising Sun". The lyrics go:

Well, I woke up this morning,
And I heard them say,
"There's a woman in the house of the rising sun
Who sells lost souls for half a crown"
