In ramekin place
\na butter base
\nso thin to feel
\nlike silk.<\/p>\n
And then esteem
\na leafy green,
\nlike spinach,
\njust to wilt.<\/p>\n
The oven\u2019s heat
\nlet it meet
\nand make a sort
\nof bowl.<\/p>\n
And sprinkle thus
\nsome fennel dust,
\nand salt to heal
\nthe soul.<\/p>\n
Within this cup
\nan egg, sun up,
\nthen tilt to place
\njust round<\/p>\n
Some grated cheese
\nto hold with ease,
\nits creamy
\nyellow mound.<\/p>\n
It needs a spice.
\nCayenne, so nice!
\nJust dust it
\nbarely there.<\/p>\n
Yes, just a trace
\na lovely taste,
\nbut not too much
\nto bear.<\/p>\n
Three and fifty
\nheat so nifty
\nsets our egg
\napace<\/p>\n
Until it wiggles
\njust a little;
\ntwelve or more
\nin space.<\/p>\n
The white is set
\nthe yolk still wet,
\nlike pudding
\nso sublime.<\/p>\n
A toast of kings,
\nits buttered rings
\nawait to soak
\nin kind.<\/p>\n
But first a jam
\nof roses slam
\nto sweeten
\noh, so thin!<\/p>\n
And then on top
\njust scoop and plop
\nthe egg and cheese
\nand green.<\/p>\n
Oh, serve it swift!
\nIt is a gift
\nto share with king
\nand queen.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
