An egg called Oliver was laughing in the egg production plant

What is so funny asked Nancy next to him

I just got laid said Oliver

Nancy just groaned at such a practical yolker

Oliver was the eternal optimist

He he told Nancy he would be hatched into a chick

Nancy kept telling him they were all doomed

She told Oliver to stop being such an Eggistentialist 

You will soon be Oliver the omelette said Nancy

Perhaps mixed with ham and cheese

Or just boiled alive for three minutes

You are just eggsagerating said Oliver

In no time at all the eggs were washed and packed

Nancy wept next to Oliver in the carton

It will all be over soon she cried

Oliver remained calm but could not contain his eggcitement

I am going on an adventure said Oliver

I was born to be a eggsplorer

Nancy told him technically you are only born after hatching

Eggsactly true so I get to be born twice said Oliver

Soon the eggs were in a supermarket on a shelf

The carton was briefly opened to check for cracked eggs

Then it was a short ride to their new home

All the eggs cried except Oliver who remained eggstatic

Put the eggs in the fridge carefully said the mother

The young girl picked them out one at a time

When she picked up Oliver he seized the moment

Please do not put me in the fridge little girl

She took him back to her bedroom

Oliver told her he was going to hatch into her pet chick

The little girl made a nest for him on her pillow 

That night Oliver rolled off her pillow and smashed on the tiled floor
