Member Poem

I love real eggs
From real chicken

Preferably free range
Vegetarian fed,
No antibiotic feed

No hormones added
Non-caged chickens,
allowed to roam about

As God intended
them to do

Not locked up
In chicken coop hell

But now
We have so many choices
           
We can have fake eggs
 Without any cholesterol
Or yoke
           
Tastes like real chicken eggs
  At least they claim

But who knows what’s real
Any more

Can you trust
The chicken is real?
