Remember a few years back (who can keep track, the verdict changes so often) when the authorities decided that eggs were bad for us? Here were my dear mother's thoughts on the matter, written for her friend David Hewlett, then-organist at the Federated Church whose weekly lunchtime concerts she attended regularly; penned sometime during the 1980s, I believe.
For David by Alison Boylston Piazza
Take away my nicotine,
Sugar, butter, and caffeine,
Salt, without a single doubt,
Is something I can do without,
And living without alcohol
Doesn't bother me at all,
But please, on bended knee I beg,
Don't take away my morning egg!
