beDEVILed by Eggs

Whenever I’m in search of feed,
a deviled egg is all I need.
This worries me, because I fear
it’s angeled eggs I should revere.

A happy birthday to myself!
I just turned sixty-one.

but it leans in the latter direction.
The dishes I’m cooking are don’t ask, don’t tell
with abstaining the only protection.

My favorite teacher told me in my youth:
“You’ll always be a leader; that’s your truth.”
This left me feeling special, even proud.
I’d often thought the same, though not out loud.

“Thirty days hath September,
April, June, and November.”

(My jowls are on the sag.)
