2 am over easy egg on a croissant
Rarely do I wake up feeling hungry
In the middle of the night that is
Or really in the general sense
In cooking eggs I'm always brought back
To a little cramped kitchen in Oregon
Where I learned how to cook an egg
By my fostermoms mother... Fostergrandma?
She was an elderly Hawaiian woman
Funny with laugh lines set deep in her face
I make eggs exactly how she taught
Even though I rarely eat egg sandwiches like she did
Way too much mayo and butter for my liking
Croissants were left by my best friend
It's the last one and I know I won't buy more
There's something about eating the last bite
Because you always are left hoping for just one more
And here I am texting my sister
Trying to problem solve her dog problem
Dumb landlord tore out her fence
And put in a tiny picket one they can jump
My brain can't seem to relax enough to go back to sleep
I think I'm finally feeling better...
At least I'm well enough to fry an egg
And I think that is worth it's weight in eggs
In the middle of the night that is
Or really in the general sense
In cooking eggs I'm always brought back
To a little cramped kitchen in Oregon
Where I learned how to cook an egg
By my fostermoms mother... Fostergrandma?
She was an elderly Hawaiian woman
Funny with laugh lines set deep in her face
I make eggs exactly how she taught
Even though I rarely eat egg sandwiches like she did
Way too much mayo and butter for my liking

There's something about eating the last bite
Because you always are left hoping for just one more
And here I am texting my sister

Dumb landlord tore out her fence
And put in a tiny picket one they can jump
