Not From The Mouth Poem by Kim Barney
Not From The Mouth
You want me to eat cow's tongue?
You must be pulling my leg!
I can't eat things from an animal's mouth!
Just bring me a soft-boiled egg!
Some of my aunts and uncles had gone into a restaurant to eat (something they didn't do often because of limited funds)and beef tongue was on the menu. Some of them were thinking that maybe they would try it, but one of my uncles said: 'Not me! I won't eat anything that came out of an animal's mouth! Bring me a hard-boiled egg! '
I changed it to soft-boiled in the poem because the eggs in the picture look more like soft- than hard-boiled.

Yes, that is exactly what it is. You have great powers of observation (and also great talent for writing poetry) !

Enjoyed and had heard about this joke in my childhood but seeing the poetic form is amazing. Didnt imagine.
