Cafe Flore's Oeuf A La Coque, Watercolor, 9" x 11 1/2" Why is it only the French understand so well,
That a plain, simple egg can really be quite swell?
That a plain, simple egg can really be quite swell?
Nothings too good for the French egg.
Diners have been known to beg...
They'd rather eat a French egg than a chicken leg...
Decked out in caviar and truffles,
All that's missing are the white ruffles..
Many a book is proud
To have a French egg grace its cover.
I've heard Parisien crowds shout out loud,
GIVE US THE BOOK with the French egg on it's cover!
Even the finest French cafes
Think nothing of having eggcups on display.
You may well find a French egg at the Musee D'Orsay!
Heavens, even Faberge
Created an array of golden eggs.
Sadly the American egg has been taken down a peg..No such glories await the American egg.
Oh why is it only the French, who understand so well,
That a plain, simple egg can be filled even with caramel.
BONJOUR FRENCH EGG!
