My word for this one: Cackleberries- A fun little word for eggs

My Connection: I absolutely love eggs, especially if they're farm fresh. I'm a fan of all kinds, but chicken eggs are easiest to find, of course.

Cackleberrries

My best days begin with cackleberries

O'er easy on my plate with runny yolks,

But however preparation varies,

Please, keep the presentation messy, folks!

~

If you'd offer me a Benedict egg,

Canadian bacon and Hollandaise

Poach it softly, let its surface fair beg

To drench the muffin whereupon it lays.

~

Serve an omelet with any filling

Embellish it with good, sharp cheddar cheese,

But don't serve to me, unless you're willing

To leave some moisture in the wrapper, please!

~

The key, you see, is plain in my cookbook:

Don't let your cackleberries overcook.

Thanks for reading!
