Back to the Jellyfish

Eating scrambled eggs
I ponder how it is
That I got the eggs from the grocery store,
Who got them from a chicken,
Who got them from a rooster,
Who got them from his father,
Who got them from his grandfather,
Who got them
From all the rooster generations
Back through time,
Who got them from the first jellyfish.
So whey you feel
Like jelly on your morning toast,
You may know why.

Jaime

Mother Goose taught me
chickens don’t have to do it with roosters
to lay eggs!!

look at breakfast
the same way again!

HAHA. That still won't make me stop eating jelly.
Interesting thoughts here.
But the truth is, we still need those ornery roosters.

hello, it's time for scrambleds and jelly.
***
OK, so no scrambleds today, but strawberry on toast with hot java did the trick for me.
PS no thanks to the jellyfish, they surrounded me and attacked in the waters off Malibu too many times!
