											 | REQUIEM FOR AN 
								EGG 
									
										
											| To boil an egg is immoral. It is the cruel, inhuman degradation 
											of a
 thing
 Far greater than ourselves.
 It is the vicious,
 Malicious
 Torture
 Of perfection personified.
 This act of infamy
 Deprives an egg of those rights
 Which should be safeguarded:
 The right to love,
 The right to live,
 The right to roll,
 And, most of all,
 The right to splatter in whatever
 unsymmetrical pattern
 It so desires when
 SMASHED.
 And then the right
 To ooze and run all over the floor -
 We are here to guarantee
 That the way of the egg will be made
 safe.
 The egg is more than
 White,
 Yolk,
 Shell.
 It is the perfection of existing.
 We must love the egg.
 We must honor the egg.
 We must OBEY the egg.
 Make way for the egg, my fellow man.
 For all eggs are good;
 All eggs are perfect;
 All Eggs are love
 In the eyes of
 The
 Great
 Egg
 CRUNCH.
