Deviled Eggs

A Poem

By Atomic HistorianPublished about a year ago 1 min read

The deviled eggs on my legs smell

Of the half-elves from hell that have sprung from their shell

To quell the chaos between summer and Christmas

A potato salad lad rides off to rescue his dad

From the hand of Galahad’s wistless love

Crushing a dove into a pie

Just to eat its rind

    That was fun, but I kinda feel sorry for the dove. Well done.
