I’m Frightened Of Eggs, Worse Than Frightened; They Revolt Me. That Round White Thing Without Any Holes, And When You Break It, Inside There’s That Yellow Thing, Round, Without Any Holes… Brrr! Have You Ever Seen Anything More Revolting Than An Egg Yolk Breaking And Spilling Its Yellow Liquid? Blood Is Jolly, Red. But Egg Yolk Is Yellow, Revolting. I’ve Never Tasted It.
