EoMEoTE#10: Eggs and Seuss on Toast

To take my mind
Off current woes
A food event
Will need some prose
Hpim0416And a tasty pic
So you can see
What I just made:
EoMEoTE!

This month's task
From Jeanne, our host
Demands some Seuss
With Eggs and Toast!

But how to cook?
What must I make?

Should bread be fried?
Shall eggs I bake?

I dearly love
Oeuf en cocotte
But that takes time
What I ain’t got. 

I know just what
Will fit the bill
An omelet
To cook and fill. 

The market yields
Tomatoes red
Fresh corn, basil,
Cheese and bread.

And here’s the dish
That I have wrought
An omelet fresh made,
Not bought.

Toasty, buttery
Ciabatta
Stuffs my mouth
And stops my chatter.

So if you're starved,
Don't clown around --
Just whip this up
And chow it down!

This stanza alone should win you a Macarthur grant. At the very least, you should win a Nobel for it. :)

And here I thought it was gonna be the Booker prize, or at least a Pulitzer for

I dearly love
Oeuf en cocotte
But that takes time
What I ain’t got.

oh no, i'm with bakerina, it's gotta be the 'ciabatta' with 'chatter' rhyme.
