Crafty Jenny Matlock, the Mistress of Saturday Centus, is at it again, straying from her own boundaries into the world of no prompt except a photo. Jenny? Is that really you?
Each week we are (supposed) to be given a prompt from which we are to write a 100 word story, not counting the prompt. The prompt is usually a phrase, but no, not this week. It's a photo of an egg frying on the sidewalk. Granted I can relate to that kind of heat. After all, I live the heat belt of Georgia. But, Really?

Help! I’m Cracking Up.
The hand that plucked me
out of the carton
is taking me outside.
There’s more.
She just knocked me against
the concrete driveway
Ouch! My aching yolk.
Call 911!
She’s pulling at the crack
she made, spilling me
onto the hot driveway
no trace of Pam.
Does she know who I am?
I can take the heat
we all know that, but
when she starts to turn me
I will, well, go SPLAT.
A scrambled mess I’ll be
Oh, where is my dignity?
I was meant to be eaten
Sunny Side Up, you see.

Excellent poem ! I love it when you Write poems...gave me a good chuckle...poor wittle eggie, no stick Pam !!!
ha. Loved the way it is from the view of the egg. Great job.
What a great idea! Writing from the egg's point of view!
THIS IS BRILLIANT! Absolutely fabulous - you clever girl you!
LOL! "Pam" had a cameo in my piece as well. This was terrific!
Love it, CJ!
=D
ha ha ha!!! I love the point of view this piece was written from! I just adored this!
Scrambled, and in public, no less- it IS rather undignified, isn't it?
Someone's gotta advocate for our ovoid friends...great job!
LOL! This was perfect, CJ! You had me feeling so sorry for the poor egg! Excellent job this week!
Splat! You hit the mark here...well done! Pam rocks.... :)
Dear cj,
Wonderful! A poem written from the egg's point of view! Very funny, clever and even works as a poem!
Thank you for your kind words about my SC-post. You are also good at blending the fantastic with realism, as you have shown here.
I am behind in my comments because of all of the work with the move. Taking a break to amuse myself. Now all that remains is the clean-up and bills to pay.
Best wishes,
Anna
