The Curate's Egg Poem by Sheena Blackhall

The Curate's Egg



The curate's egg
Was cracked by a blue-skinned man
With a short spear and no money

When he fried it,
A flash in the pan released a dozen butterflies
Singing in Mandarin

The shell was found to contain
One dinosaur turd
And a cameo brooch of Charles Dickens
Inscribed by Machiavelli to the NHS

The blue skinned man
Claimed the curate egged him on
